Genesis 41:17-27

MSTC(i) 17 Pharaoh said unto Joseph, "In my dream, me thought I stood by a river's side, 18 and there came out of the river seven fat fleshed and well favored cows, and fed in the meadow. 19 And then seven other cows came up after them, poor and very evil favored and lean fleshed: so that I never saw their like, in all the land of Egypt, in evil favoredness. 20 And the seven lean and evil favored cows ate up the first seven fat cows. 21 And when they had eaten them up, a man could not perceive that they had eaten them: for they were still as evil favored as they were at the beginning. And I awoke. 22 And I saw again in my dream seven ears spring out of one stalk, full and good, 23 and seven other ears, withered, thin and blasted with wind, spring up after them. 24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I have told it unto the soothsayers, but no man can tell me what it meaneth." 25 Then Joseph said unto Pharaoh, "Both Pharaoh's dreams are one. And God doth show Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years: and the seven good ears are seven years also, and is but one dream. 27 Likewise, the seven thin and evil favored cows that came out after them, are seven years: and the seven empty and blasted ears shall be seven years of hunger.
