  from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down
  there. 2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a
  successful man and he was in the house of his
  master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that
  the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all
  he did to prosper in his hand. 4 So Joseph found
  favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made
  him overseer of his house, and all that he had he
  put under his authority.

  righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart
  3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor
  does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a
  reproach against his friend 4 In whose eyes a
  vile person is despised, But he honors those who
  fear the LORD He who swears to his own hurt and
  does not change 5 He who does not put out his
  money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against
  the innocent. He who does these things shall
  never be moved.
