*
And it came to pass after these things that his master '
s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph ,
and she said , "
Lie with me ."
*
But he refused and said to his master '
s wife , "
Look ,
my master does not know what is with me in the house ,
and he has committed all that he has to my hand .
*
There is no one greater in this house than I ,
nor has he kept back anything from me but you ,
because you are his wife .
How then can I do this great wickedness ,
and sin against God ?"
*
So it was ,
as she spoke to Joseph day by day ,
that he did not heed her ,
to lie with her or to be with her .
*
But it happened about this time ,
when Joseph went into the house to do his work ,
and none of the men of the house was inside ,
*
that she caught him by his garment ,
saying , "
Lie with me ."
But he left his garment in her hand ,
and fled and ran outside .
