9 Then the achief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: “I remember my faults this day.  
10 When Pharaoh was aangry with his servants, band put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,  
11 awe each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.  
12 Now there was a young aHebrew man with us there, a bservant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he cinterpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.  
13 And it came to pass, just aas he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”  
14 aThen Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they bbrought him quickly cout of the dungeon; and he shaved, dchanged his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.  
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. aBut I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”

Genesis 41:9-13

then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults—This public acknowledgment of the merits of the young Hebrew would, tardy though it was, have reflected credit on the butler had it not been obviously made to ingratiate himself with his royal master. It is right to confess our faults against God, and against our fellow men when that confession is made in the spirit of godly sorrow and penitence. But this man was not much impressed with a sense of the fault he had committed against Joseph; he never thought of God, to whose goodness he was indebted for the prophetic announcement of his release, and in acknowledging his former fault against the king, he was practising the courtly art of pleasing his master.
