Pharaoh's Disturbing Dreams

Genesis 41:1-8
1
After two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing beside the Nile,
2
when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.
3
After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.
4
And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,
5
but he fell back asleep and dreamed a second time: Seven heads of grain, plump and ripe, came up on one stalk.
6
After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted, thin and scorched by the east wind.
7
And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.
8
In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
