Genesis 41:24

And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears
(See Gill on Genesis 41:7); and I told [this] unto the magicians;

22 I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good;

23 and seven ears, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them,

24 and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears. And I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."
