Genesis 44:30-32

New International Reader's Version

³⁰ “So now, what will happen if the boy isn’t with us when I go back to my father? His life depends on the boy’s life. ³¹ When he sees that the boy isn’t with us, he’ll die. Because of us, he’ll go down into the grave as a sad old man. ³² I promised my father I would keep the boy safe. I said, ‘Father, I’ll bring him back to you. If I don’t, you can put the blame on me for the rest of my life.’
