32 Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?”
33 And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A awild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces.”
34 Then Jacob atore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and bmourned for his son many days.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters aarose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, “For bI shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.
36 Now athe Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

Genesis 37:34-35
Joseph's brothers did not grieve for him and neither did the world to which he was thrown by their callous actions. The Midianites did not care for Joseph. Even Reuben's grief was less impressive than it should have been since he was at least primarily to blame in the tragedy. The only person who did grieve for Joseph was his aged father, Jacob, who mourned with a grief that could not be comforted.
