Genesis 41:16-25

1. 16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

2. 17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:

3. 18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

4. 19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:

5. 20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

6. 21 And 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.

7. 22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

8. 23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

9. 24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

10. 25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
