你们要对约瑟这样说,从前你哥哥们恶待你,求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶。如今求你饶恕你父亲神之仆人的过犯。他们对约瑟说这话,约瑟就哭了。
So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

我们的神要来,决不闭口。有烈火在他们面前吞灭,有暴风在他四围大刮。
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
