²³ And the keeper of the prison gave no attention to anything which was under his care, because the Lord was with him; and the Lord made everything he did go well.

² And the Lord was with Joseph, and he did well; and he was living in the house of his master the Egyptian.

³ And his master saw that the Lord was with him, making everything he did go well.

³⁰ For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.

³ He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

² When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.

³ And he put them in prison under the care of the captain of the army, in the same prison where Joseph himself was shut up.

⁴ And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.

²³ He was troubled by the archers; they sent out their arrows against him, cruelly wounding him:

²⁴ But their bows were broken by a strong one, and the cords of their arms were cut by the Strength of Jacob, by the name of the Stone of Israel:

²² Then Daniel said to the king, O King, have life for ever.

³ Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.

⁴ So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.

⁵ Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.

⁶ And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

⁷ Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

⁸ Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.

⁹ For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.

¹⁰ For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

¹¹ But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.
