And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.

And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
