Gen. 41:18-34 (17 in 17 verses)

 41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:

 41:19 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:

 41:20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:

 41:21 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.

 41:22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:

 41:23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:

 41:24 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.

 41:25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

 41:26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

 41:27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

 41:28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

 41:29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

 41:30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

 41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

 41:32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

 41:33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

 41:34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
