13Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and took his journey into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
14When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
15He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
17But when he came to himself he said, `How many hired servants of my father`s have bread enough to spare, and I`m dying with hunger!
18I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.
19I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants."`
