Genesis 37:4-11
Legacy Standard Bible
4 And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and so they (A)hated him and could not speak to him in peace.
Joseph’s Dreams
5 Then Joseph [a](B)had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; so they hated him even more. 6 And he said to them, “Please listen to this dream which I have [b]had: 7 Indeed, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf rose up and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and (C)bowed down to my sheaf.” 8 Then his brothers said to him, “(D)Are you really going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
9 Then he [c]had still another dream and recounted it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have [d]had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10 And he recounted it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have [e]had? Shall I and your mother and (E)your brothers really come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground?” 11 (F)And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father (G)kept the saying in mind.

4 “Let everyone (A)beware of his neighbor,
And (B)do not trust any brother,
Because every (C)brother [a]surely supplants,
And every neighbor (D)goes about as a slanderer.
5 Everyone (E)deceives his neighbor
And does not speak the truth;
They have taught their tongue to speak lies;
They (F)weary themselves committing iniquity.
