Genesis 37:33-35

Good News Translation

³³ He recognized it and said, “Yes, it is his! Some wild animal has killed him. My son Joseph has been torn to pieces!” ³⁴ Jacob tore his clothes in sorrow and put on sackcloth. He mourned for his son a long time. ³⁵ All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and said, “I will go down to the world of the dead still mourning for my son.” So he continued to mourn for his son Joseph.
