Genesis 41:25-32

25Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:

26The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years; the dreams are one.

27And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are seven years of famine.

28This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

29Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt;

30but after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.

31So the plenty will not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe.

32And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
