Genesis 50:19-21
New English Translation

19 But Joseph answered them, “Don’t be afraid. Am[a] I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant to harm me,[b] but God intended it for a good purpose, so he could preserve the lives of many people, as you can see this day.[c] 21 So now, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.” Then he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.[d]
