« ጌታዬ ሆይ ! ወደርሱ ከሚጠሩኝ ነገር ( ከዝሙት ) ይልቅ መታሰር ለእኔ የተወደደ ነው ፡ ፡ ተንኮላቸውንም ከእኔ ላይ ባትመልስልኝ ወደነሱ እዘነበላለሁ ፡ ፡ ከስህተተኞቹም እሆናለሁ » አለ ፡ ፡
Joseph said , " Lord , prison is dearer to me than that which women want me to do . Unless You protect me from their guile , I shall be attracted to them in my ignorance " .
