SEV Biblia, Chapter 40:22
Mas hizo colgar al príncipe de los panaderos, como le había declarado José.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-23 - Joseph's interpretation of the dreams came to pass on the very da fixed. On Pharaoh's birth-day, all his servants attended him, and the the cases of these two came to be looked into. We may all profitabl take notice of our birth-days, with thankfulness for the mercies of ou birth, sorrow for the sinfulness of our lives, and expectation of the day of our death, as better than the day of our birth. But it seem strange that worldly people, who are so fond of living here, shoul rejoice at the end of one year after another of their short span of life. A Christian has cause to rejoice that he was born, also that he comes nearer to the end of his sin and sorrow, and nearer to his everlasting happiness. The chief butler remembered not Joseph, but forgot him. Joseph had deserved well at his hands, yet he forgot him We must not think it strange, if in this world we have hatred shown u for our love, and slights for our kindness. See how apt those who ar themselves at ease are to forget others in distress. Joseph learned by his disappointment to trust in God only. We cannot expect too littl from man, nor too much from God. Let us not forget the sufferings promises, and love of our Redeemer. We blame the chief butler' ingratitude to Joseph, yet we ourselves act much more ungratefully to the Lord Jesus. Joseph had but foretold the chief butler's enlargement but Christ wrought out ours; he mediated with the King of Kings for us yet we forget him, though often reminded of him, and though we have promised never to forget him. Thus ill do we requite Him, like foolis people and unwise __________________________________________________________________
