Genesis 40:6 Context
4And the captaine of the guard charged Ioseph with them, and he serued them, and they continued a season in warde. 5¶ And they dreamed a dreame both of them, each man his dreame in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dreame, the Butler and the Baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison. 6And Ioseph came in vnto them in the morning, and looked vpon them, and behold, they were sad. 7And he asked Pharaohs officers that were with him in the warde of his lords house, saying, wherefore looke ye so sadly to day? 8And they said vnto him, we haue dreamed a dreame, and there is no interpreter of it. And Ioseph said vnto them, Doe not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.

Wesley's Notes for Genesis 40:6
40:6 They were sad - It was not the prison that made them sad; they were pretty well used to that, but the dream. God has more ways than one to sadden the spirits of those that are to be made sad. Those sinners that are hardy enough under outward trouble, yet God can find a way to trouble them, and take off their wheels, by wounding their spirits, and laying a load upon them.
