I saw a dream and it startled me; and these appearances as I lay on my bed and the visions in my mind kept alarming me.

Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.When Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, behold, they were dejected.So he asked Pharaoh’s officials who were with him in confinement in his master’s house,“ Why are your faces so sad today?”And they said to him,“ We have had a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” Then Joseph said to them,“ Do interpretations not belong to God? Tell it to me, please.”

The king said to them,“ I had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand the dream.”

In a dream, a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on people, While they slumber in their beds,Then He opens the ears of people, And horrifies them with warnings,So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct, And keep a man from pride;

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah( that was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),

Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.And behold, from the Nile seven cows came up, fine looking and fat; and they grazed in the marsh grass.Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and thin, and they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.Then the ugly and thin cows ate the seven fine looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.But he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.Then behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.And the thin ears swallowed the seven plump and full ears. Then Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.Now in the morning his spirit was troubled, so he sent messengers and called for all the soothsayer priests of Egypt, and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying,“ I would make mention today of my own offenses.Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker.Then we had a dream one night, he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.Now a Hebrew youth was there with us, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we told him the dreams, and he interpreted our dreams for us. For each man he interpreted according to his own dream.And just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; Pharaoh restored me in my office, but he hanged the chief baker.”Then Pharaoh sent word and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh.Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it; and I have heard it said about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying,“ It has nothing to do with me; God will give Pharaoh an answer for his own good.”So Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ In my dream, there I was, standing on the bank of the Nile;and behold, seven cows, fat and fine looking came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass.Then behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I had never seen for ugliness in all the land of Egypt;and the thin and ugly cows ate the first seven fat cows.Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them, for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke.I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears of grain, full and good, came up on a single stalk;and behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind sprouted up after them;and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the soothsayer priests, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”And Joseph said to Pharaoh,“ Pharaoh’s dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do.The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one and the same.The seven thin and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.It is as I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt;and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will ravage the land.So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe.Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is confirmed by God, and God will quickly bring it about.So now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and appoint him over the land of Egypt.Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers in charge of the land, and let him take a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt as a tax in the seven years of abundance.Then have them collect all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh’s authority, and have them guard it.Let the food be used as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.”

Jehoiakim was twenty five years old when he became king, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of the Lord his God.Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him and bound him with bronze chains to take him to Babylon.Nebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.

Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
