    19 Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;

    21 And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.

    22 And again in a dream I saw seven heads of grain, full and good, coming up on one stem:

    23 And then I saw seven other heads, dry, thin, and wasted by the east wind, coming up after them:
