Genesis 44:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Then Joseph said unto them, What act is this, which ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I, can divine and prophesy?
16 Then said Judah, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? and how can we justify ourselves? [a]God hath found out the wickedness of thy servants: behold, we are servants to my lord, both we, and he, with whom the cup is found.
17 But he answered, God forbid, that I should do so, but the man, with whom the cup is found, he shall be my servant, and go ye in peace unto your father.
