16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me; God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river;
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat- fleshed and well-favored; and they fed in a meadow;
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness;
20 And the lean in the ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine;
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good;
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them;
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.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one; God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream is one.
