Genesis 42:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ If you are honest, then leave one of your brothers in prison and go to bring the grain to ease the hunger of your household. ²⁰ Then bring me your youngest brother. In this way, your words will be seen to be true and you will not die.” They agreed.

²¹ They said among themselves, “Surely this terrible thing has come upon us because of our brother. We saw his torment when he begged us, and we did not listen to him. That is why this trouble has come upon us.”
