Joseph
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[12:33]
Said he: "O my Sustainer! Prison is more desirable to me than [compliance with] what these women invite me to: for, unless Thou turn away their guile from me, I might yet yield to their allure and become one of those who are unaware [of right and wrong]."

* v.33 : Lit., “incline towards them,” it should, however, be borne in mind that the verb sabā combines the concepts of inclination, yearning, and amorous indulgence (cf. Lane IV, 1649); hence my rendering.
