Genesis 41:17-32

17And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: 18And, behold, there came out of the river seven cows, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: 19And, behold, seven other cows came out after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: 20And the lean and the ill favoured cows ate up the first seven fat cows: 21And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.1 22And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good: 23And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and parched with the east wind, sprung up after them:2 24And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this to the magicians; but there was none that could make known the meaning of it to me. 25And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. 27And the seven thin and ill favoured cows that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blighted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine. 28This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh: What God is about to do he showeth to Pharaoh. 29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: 30And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; 31And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following; for it shall be very grievous.3 32And for that the dream was doubled to Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.4
