14 God didn’t let anyone oppress them.God punished kings for their sake:
15 "Don’t touch my anointed ones;don’t harm my prophets!"
16 When God called for a famine in the land,destroying every source of food,
17 he sent a man ahead of them,who was sold as a slave: it was Joseph.
18 Joseph’s feet hurt in his shackles;his neck was in an iron collar,
19 until what he predicted actually happened,until what the Lord had said proved him true.
20 The king sent for Joseph and set him free;the ruler of many people released him.
