^{30 Ref} And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;

^{31 Ref} And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.

^{32 Ref} And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.
