Genesis 44:31

Judah Pleads for Benjamin

30So if the boy is not with us when I return to your servant, and if my father, whose life is wrapped up in the boy’s life,31sees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow.32Indeed, your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’
