Genesis 41:30-32
New English Translation

30 But seven years of famine will occur[a] after them, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will devastate[b] the land. 31 The previous abundance of the land will not be remembered[c] because of the famine that follows, for the famine will be very severe.[d] 32 The dream was repeated to Pharaoh[e] because the matter has been decreed[f] by God, and God will make it happen soon.[g]
