Genesis 44:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They bowed down before him, ¹⁵ and Joseph said, “What have you done? Didn't you know that a man in my position could find you out by practicing divination?”

¹⁶ “What can we say to you, sir?” Judah answered. “How can we argue? How can we clear ourselves? God has uncovered our guilt. All of us are now your slaves and not just the one with whom the cup was found.”
