Genesis 42:19-21
New Life Version
19 If you are men who do not lie, let one of your brothers stay here in prison for all of you. But you others go and carry grain for your hungry families. 20 Then bring your youngest brother to me, so your words will be proven true. And you will live.” So they did what he said. 21 They said to one another, “For sure we are guilty for what we did to our brother. We saw the suffering of his soul while he begged us. But we would not listen. So this trouble has come to us.”

New International Version
19 If you are honest men,(A) let one of your brothers stay here in prison,(B) while the rest of you go and take grain back for your starving households.(C) 20 But you must bring your youngest brother to me,(D) so that your words may be verified and that you may not die.” This they proceeded to do.
21 They said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother.(E) We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that’s why this distress(F) has come on us.”
