1599 Geneva Bible
19 To whom Joseph said, (A)Fear not: for [a]am not I under [b]God?
20 When ye thought evil against me, God disposed it to good, that he might bring to pass, as it is this day, and save much people alive.
21 Fear not now therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and he comforted them, and spake [c]kindly unto them.
