    28As I said to Pharaoh before, God has made clear to him what he is about to do.

    29Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt;

    30And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;

    31And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.

    32And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.

    33And now let Pharaoh make search for a man of wisdom and good sense, and put him in authority over the land of Egypt.

    34Let Pharaoh do this, and let him put overseers over the land of Egypt to put in store a fifth part of the produce of the land in the good years.

    35And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.

    36And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.
