Psalm 105:16 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 105.

12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

16 He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

17 He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
