Exegesis
The verse begins with the existential particle ein {אֵין | ʾên} ‘there is not,’ which negates the participle ro'eh {רֹאֶה | rō-ʾeh} ‘overseeing’ attached to the subject sar beyt-ha-sohar {שַׂר בֵּית־הַסֹּהַר | śar bêṯ-ha-ssō-har} ‘chief of the prison house.’
In context — Genesis 39:23
The chief of the prison house did not look into anything that was in his hand, because the LORD was with him, and whatever he did, the LORD made it succeed .
