The verse belongs to the account of Joseph's suffering as one who remained virtuous and firm in purpose while enduring wrong. In that suffering he was maligned and persecuted, and he was dealt with as though he were a criminal. His experience shows that suffering for doing right does not bar a person from God's favor. Even under such unjust treatment, God granted him signal victories.
