Genesis 43:8-10
Wycliffe Bible
8 And Judah said to his father, Send the child[a] with me, that we go, and may live, lest we die, (and thou,) and our little children; (And Judah said to his father, I pray thee, send our youngest brother with me, so that we can go, and we can live, otherwise we, and thou, and our little children shall die;)
9 I (shall) take the child, require thou him (again) of mine hand; if I shall not bring him again, and betake him to thee, I shall be guilty of sin against thee in all time; (I shall take our youngest brother, and thou shalt require him again from my hand; and if I shall not bring him back again, and give him to thee, I shall be guilty of sin against thee for all time;)
10 if this delay, or tarrying, had not been, we had come thence now another time. (yea, if this delay had not happened, we could already have gone there, and had come back by now, another time.)

New International Version
8 Then Judah(A) said to Israel(B) his father, “Send the boy along with me and we will go at once, so that we and you and our children may live and not die.(C) 9 I myself will guarantee his safety; you can hold me personally responsible for him.(D) If I do not bring him back to you and set him here before you, I will bear the blame(E) before you all my life.(F) 10 As it is, if we had not delayed,(G) we could have gone and returned twice.”
