Genesis 41:27-31 ▼

27 The seven thin, bad cows that came up after them are seven years, as are the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind; they are seven years of famine.

28 Things are just as I told Pharaoh: God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

29 Seven years of great abundance are now coming throughout the land of Egypt;

30 but seven years of famine will rise up after them, when all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. When the famine has exhausted the land,

31 no trace of the abundance will be found in the land because of the famine that follows it, for it will be very severe.
