16. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood on the bank of the river.
18. And behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and of fine form, and they fed in the reed-grass.
19. And behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor, and very ill-formed, and lean-fleshed--such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.
20. And the lean and bad kine ate up the seven first fat kine;
21. and they came into their belly, and it could not be known that they had come into their belly; and their look was bad, as at the beginning. And I awoke.
22. And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up on one stalk, full and good.
23. And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, parched with the east wind, sprung up after them;
24. and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I told it to the scribes; but there was none to make it known to me.
25. And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God will do he has made known to Pharaoh.
