13 And after not many days, the younger son gathered everything and went on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth by living wastefully.
14 And after he had spent everything, there was a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
15 And he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to tend pigs.
16 And he was longing to fill his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving anything to him.
17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have an abundance of food, and I am dying here from hunger!
18 I will set out and go to my father and will say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight!
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son! Make me like one of your hired workers.’
