Genesis 40:20-23

20Pharaoh’s birthday came three days later, and he prepared a banquet for all his officials and staff. He summoned his chief cup-bearer and chief baker to join the other officials.

21He then restored the chief cup-bearer to his former position, so he could again hand Pharaoh his cup.

22But Pharaoh impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had predicted when he interpreted his dream.

23Pharaoh’s chief cup-bearer, however, forgot all about Joseph, never giving him another thought.
