Psalms 105:18

Suffering

16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

17 He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
