Genesis 41:25-32
25Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one; aGod has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one. 27The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears blighted by the east wind are also bseven years of famine. 28It is as I told Pharaoh; cGod has shown to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29There will come dseven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt, 30but after them there will arise eseven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. fThe famine will consume the land, 31and the plenty will be unknown in the land by reason of the famine that will follow, for it will be very severe. 32And the doubling of Pharaoh’s dream means that the gthing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about.Genesis 41:54
54and hthe seven years of famine began to come, ias Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.Genesis 42:5-6
5Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.6Now Joseph was governor jover the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and kbowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground.

Warning Visions
1 qThis is what the Lord God showed me: behold, rhe was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings. 2When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,“O Lord God, please forgive!
sHow can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
3 tThe Lord relented concerning this:
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
4 uThis is what the Lord God showed me: behold, the Lord God was calling vfor a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.
Haggai 1:10-11
10Therefore wthe heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11And xI have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on ythe grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and zon all their labors.”Haggai 2:17
17 aaI struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, abyet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord.
