Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him; and he cried out, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
I have for a long time held my peace; I have been still, and restrained myself: now will I cry like a woman in birth labor; I will destroy and devour at once.
Thus says the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your work shall be rewarded, says the LORD; and they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
