4 And when they went out of the city not far off, Joseph said to his steward, Up, follow after the men: and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
5 Is not that the cup wherein my lord drinketh? [a]and in the which he doth divine and prophesy? ye have done evil in so doing.
6 ¶ And when he overtook them, he said these words unto them.

6 When he caught up with them, he repeated these words to them.
