When he summoned a famine on the land and broke
all supply of bread, he had sent a man ahead of
them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. His feet
were hurt with fetters his neck was put in a
collar of iron until what he had said came to

sent and released him the ruler of the peoples

at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.

For we do not want you to be ignorant,
brothers, of the affliction we experienced in
Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our
strength that we despaired of life itself.
Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence
of death. But that was to make us rely not on
ourselves but on God who raises the dead.
- 2 Corinthians 18 - 9
