King James Version
"For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father. "
— Genesis 44:34, King James Version
“For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father. ”
“For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn't with me?--lest I see the evil that will come on my father."”
“For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I couldn’t bear to see my father’s pain.””
“For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father. ”
“For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?”
“For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father. ”
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
