¹⁶When he summoned famine against the land,
   and broke every staff of bread,
¹⁷he had sent a man ahead of them,
   Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
¹⁸His feet were hurt with fetters,
   his neck was put in a collar of iron;
¹⁹until what he had said came to pass,
   the word of the Lord kept testing him.
²⁰The king sent and released him;
   the ruler of the peoples set him free.
²¹He made him lord of his house,
   and ruler of all his possessions,
²²to instruct^* his officials at his pleasure,
   and to teach his elders wisdom.
