One day, the lady of the house (who had gradually been fallen in love with Joseph) tried to seduce him. She locked the doors and said: "I am all yours."

The Lord never let the unjust people (such as a person who has been treated nicely in a house and then develop a sinful relationship with the land lord’s wife) to succeed.”
