Genesis 37v29-36

Heavenly father
give us grace not to lose hope in grief and mourning, thanking you that you are working your purposes out. 

²⁹ Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes. 
³⁰ He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?” 
³¹ They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood. 
³² They took the tunic of many colours, and they brought it to their father, and said,
“We have found this. Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic or not.”

³³ He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.” 
³⁴ Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days. 
³⁵ All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted.
He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him. 
³⁶ The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
