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.

Genesis 44:15-17
New International Version
15 Joseph said to them, “What is this you have done?(A) Don’t you know that a man like me can find things out by divination?(B)”
16 “What can we say to my lord?(C)” Judah(D) replied. “What can we say? How can we prove our innocence?(E) God has uncovered your servants’(F) guilt. We are now my lord’s slaves(G)—we ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup.(H)”
17 But Joseph said, “Far be it from me to do such a thing!(I) Only the man who was found to have the cup will become my slave.(J) The rest of you, go back to your father in peace.”(K)
