Genesis 42:21
They said to one another, "Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that's why this distress has come on us."

Joseph's brothers felt guilty about the hurt and death they believed they had inflicted on their brother. Their conscience would not let them forget their sin against their brother. They believed that they were being punished for the sin they had committed against their brother. Our conscience tells us when we are being sinful - sometimes our conscience lets us know at the time we are committing sin and sometimes we may not feel our conscience tugging at us until we have committed the sin - at which time we should just apologize and ask for forgiveness.
