43:18 And the men were {e} afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

Religious servants should take all fit occasions to speak of God and his providence, with reverence and seriousness.
