Genesis 41:26-30

26The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the [two] dreams are one [and the same].

27The seven thin and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years; and also the seven thin ears, dried up and scorched by the east wind, they are seven years of famine and hunger.

28This is the message just as I have told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

29Listen very carefully: seven years of great abundance will come throughout all the land of Egypt;

30but afterward seven years of famine and hunger will come, and [there will be such desperate need that] all the great abundance [of the previous years] will be forgotten in the land of Egypt [as if it never happened], and famine and destitution will ravage and destroy the land.
