Psalms 105:21
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.
He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
