"when the ungodly threaten us with death, the cross, sword, and fire by which they plan to kill us and bury us, let us know for certain that God, who said (Gen. 15:1): “I will be your Protector,” is laughing at their folly and setting the opposite in motion. For Joseph’s brothers say: “Come, let us kill Joseph!” God, on the contrary, says: “Let him live and preserve him unharmed.” They say: “We will bury him in a pit.” He says: “Raise him up.” They promise themselves praise for justice and innocence; He, on the contrary, says: “Accuse yourselves and hurl yourselves into eternal damnation.” In this way God changes and overthrows the plans of men, and those who have the Holy Spirit and have experienced God’s help and liberation from dangers understand this."
