And not many days after, the younger son, collecting his all, travelled into a far distant country, and there dissipated his substance in a life of debauchery. But when he had spent all, there came a terrible famine in that region; and he began to know want. And he went and connected himself with one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

And calling one of the servants, he inquired what these things meant. And he said, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed for him the stall-fed steer, because he hath received him in health. Then he was in great wrath, and would not enter the doors: therefore his father came out, and entreated him. But he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years I am serving thee, and never have transgressed thy command: yet to me thou hast never once given a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: but no sooner is this son of thine come, who hath devoured thy substance with whores, than thou hast killed for him the stall-fed steer. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all my possessions are thine. But it was right that we should rejoice, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
