One day's experience had been the turning point in Joseph's life.
 His master's wife endeavored to entice the young man to transgress the law of God. Heretofore he
had remained untainted by the corruption teeming in that heathen land; but this temptation, so sudden, so strong, so seductive--how should it be met? Joseph knew well what would be the consequence of resistance. On the one hand were concealment, favor, and rewards; on the other, disgrace, imprisonment, perhaps death. His whole future life depended upon the decision of the moment. Would principle triumph? Would Joseph still be true to God? With inexpressible anxiety, angels looked upon the scene.

The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. Job 28:28
