Genesis 41:25-31

25Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh’s dreams mean the same thing. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

26The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years. The dreams mean the same thing.

27The seven thin, sickly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind are seven years of famine.

28“It is just as I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.

29Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt.

30After them, seven years of famine will take place, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will devastate the land.

31The abundance in the land will not be remembered because of the famine that follows it, for the famine will be very severe.
