    17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'In my dream, I was standing on the bank of the Nile.'

    18'And behold, seven cows, fat and sleek, came up out of the Nile and began grazing among the reeds.'

    19'Then seven other cows came up after them, weak, ugly, and gaunt—such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.'

    20'And the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven fat cows that came up first.'

    21'But even after they had eaten them, no one could tell that they had done so; they still looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.'

    22'In my second dream, I saw seven ears of grain, full and good, growing on one stalk.'

    23'After them, seven other ears of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind.'

    24'The thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven good ears. I told this to the magicians, but no one could explain it to me.'

    25Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, 'The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do.'

    26'The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain are also seven years; the dreams mean the same thing.'

    27The seven thin and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears of grain scorched by the east wind also represent seven years of famine.

    28It is just as I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

    29Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt.

    30But after them, seven years of famine will arise, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will ravage the land.

    31The abundance in the land will not be remembered because the famine that follows will be so severe.
