Bible Verses About Prisoners: Joseph

And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.

But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it to prosper.

And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.

And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favored and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.

And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:

Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker:

and we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.

And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river:

and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored: and they fed in the reed-grass:

and, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:

and the lean and ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
