What does the Bible say about the suffering of Joseph?

In Genesis 49:22-24, Joseph is depicted as a fruitful vine who faced hostility and severe grief from his brothers and others. The arrows shot at him represented the trials and betrayals he suffered, including being sold into slavery and unjustly imprisoned. Despite these adversities, Joseph's strength came from the Mighty One of Jacob, which emphasizes that true resilience in the face of suffering is rooted in God's sustaining grace. His ability to turn pain into prayer illustrates the transformative power of a godly response to adversity.
