The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
The prison warden didn't need to worry about anything Joseph was responsible for, because the LORD was with Joseph, and the LORD made everything Joseph did successful.
God was with Joseph even in prison, making him so trustworthy and successful that the warden gave him complete freedom to manage everything.
