Genesis 44:30-32

New American Standard Bible

³⁰ So now, when I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—since ^[a](A)our father’s life is so attached to the boy’s life— ³¹ when he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. So your servants will ^(B)bring the gray hair of your servant, our father, down to Sheol in sorrow. ³² For your servant ^(C)accepted responsibility for the boy from my father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, then ^[b]my father can let me take the blame forever.’
