Liars' Fate

  Joseph's brothers dipped his coat
    into the blood of a goat

  Jacobs said, My beloved son is surely gone
    That was the robe he had on... 

  Joseph is still alive, the brothers said later
    With that, their integrity cratered

  Jacob disregarded them, they had lied before
    ~ The brothers had gotten what they had asked for
