Genesis 39:7-10 NIV
7 and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”

My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” 10 And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.

do not give in to them.
11 If they say, “Come along with us;
let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,
let’s ambush some harmless soul;

and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;

they are swift to shed blood.

where every bird can see it!
