Hatred is hard to hide, so Joseph probably had known for some time of his brothers’ feelings towards him. Now, unknown to him, their hatred had become so intense that they wanted to kill him. Young person, hatred should never be a part of your life. If it is, make it a special matter of prayer and ask the Lord to help you forgive whoever has wronged you. Hatred is from Satan and it will cause you to sin even worse. “The thought of foolishness is sin.” To wish someone dead is sin. Get control over hatred.
