27. The seven skinny, ugly cows that came up later also stand for seven years, as do the seven bad heads of grain that were scorched by the east wind. The dreams mean there will be seven years when there won't be enough grain.
28. It is just as I said—God has shown what he intends to do.
29. For seven years Egypt will have more than enough grain,
30. but that will be followed by seven years when there won't be enough. The good years of plenty will be forgotten, and everywhere in Egypt people will be starving.
31. The famine will be so bad that no one will remember that once there had been plenty.
32. God has given you two dreams to let you know that he has definitely decided to do this and that he will do it soon.
