16 Then he called down famine over the land ♦︎
and broke every staff of bread.
17 But he had sent a man before them, ♦︎
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18 They shackled his feet with fetters; ♦︎
his neck was ringed with iron.
19 Until all he foretold came to pass, ♦︎
the word of the Lord tested him.
20 The king sent and released him; ♦︎
the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 He appointed him lord of his household ♦︎
and ruler of all he possessed,
22 To instruct his princes as he willed ♦︎
and to teach his counsellors wisdom.
