she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.
Genesis 39:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from Genesis 39.
10 Although Potiphar’s wife spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be near her.
11 One day, however, Joseph went into the house to attend to his work, and not a single household servant was inside.
12 She grabbed Joseph by his cloak and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his cloak in her hand, he escaped and ran outside.
13 When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
14 she called her household servants. “Look,” she said, “this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, but I screamed as loud as I could.
15 When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
16 So Potiphar’s wife kept Joseph’s cloak beside her until his master came home.
17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me,
18 but when I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
