Genesis 44:29-31

New International Reader's Version

²⁹ What if you take this one from me too and he is harmed? Then you would cause me to die as a sad old man. I would go down into the grave full of pain and suffering.’

³⁰ “So now, what will happen if the boy isn’t with us when I go back to my father? His life depends on the boy’s life. ³¹ When he sees that the boy isn’t with us, he’ll die. Because of us, he’ll go down into the grave as a sad old man.
