Genesis 41:23-33

23 After them, seven ears, thin and blasted by the east wind, sprang up.
24 And the thin ears swallowed up the seven ripe ears. I told this to the magicians, but none of them could explain it to me."
25 Yosef said to Pharaoh, "The dreams of Pharaoh are the same: God has told Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain are seven years - the dreams are the same.
27 Likewise the seven lean and miserable-looking cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted by the east wind - there will be seven years of famine.
28 This is what I told Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
29 Here it is: there will be seven years of abundance throughout the whole land of Egypt;
30 but afterwards, there will come seven years of famine; and Egypt will forget all the abundance. The famine will consume the land,
31 and the abundance will not be known in the land because of the famine that will follow, because it will be truly terrible.
32 Why was the dream doubled for Pharaoh? Because the matter has been fixed by God, and God will shortly cause it to happen.
33 "Therefore, Pharaoh should look for a man both discreet and wise to put in charge of the land of Egypt.
