25Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh’s dreams are one; what God is doing he has declared to Pharaoh.”

26The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain are seven years; it is one dream.

27And the seven thin and bad cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads of grain, scorched by the east wind, will be seven years of famine.

28This is the matter that I spoke to Pharaoh: what God is doing he has shown to Pharaoh.
