Genesis 41:15 - 41:38

41:15 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I dreamed a dream, but there is none to interpret it. Now, I have heard concerning you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
41:16 Then Joseph answered Pharaoh saying, “It is not in my power; God will answer concerning the well-being of Pharaoh.”
41:17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Now in my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile,
41:18 and behold, seven cows, well built and fat, were coming up from the Nile, and they grazed among the reeds.
41:19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, very ugly and gaunt—never have I seen any as them in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
41:20 And the thin and ugly cows ate the former seven healthy cows.
41:21 But when they went into their bellies it could not be known that they went into their bellies, for their appearance was as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
41:22 Then I saw in my dream and behold, seven ears of grain were coming out of one stalk, full and good.
41:23 And behold, seven withered ears of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.
41:24 And the thin ears of grain swallowed up the seven good ears of grain. And I told the magicians, but there was none to explain it to me.”
41:25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
41:26 The seven good cows, they are seven years, and the seven good ears of grain, they are seven years. The dreams are one.
41:27 And the seven thin and ugly cows coming up after them, they are seven years, and the seven empty ears of grain, scorched by the east wind, they are also seven years of famine.
41:28 This is the word that I have spoken to Pharaoh; God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.
41:29 Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the whole land of Egypt.
41:30 Then seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten. The famine will consume the land.
41:31 Abundance in the land will not be known because of the famine that follows, for it will be very heavy.
41:32 Now concerning the repetition of the dream twice to Pharaoh, it is because the matter is established by God, and God will do it quickly.
41:33 Now then, let Pharaoh select a man who is discerning and wise, and let him set him over the land of Egypt.
41:34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint supervisors over the land, and let him take one-fifth from the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance.
41:35 Then let them gather all the food of these coming good years and let them pile up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
41:36 Then the food shall be as a deposit for the land for the seven years of the famine that will be in the land of Egypt, that the land will not perish on account of the famine.”
41:37 Joseph Rises to Power And the plan was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
41:38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this in whom is the spirit of God?”

LEB translation

John 15:18 - 27

15:18 The World’s Hatred for the Disciples If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.
15:20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they do not have a valid excuse for their sin.
15:23 The one who hates me hates my Father also.
15:24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
15:25 But this happened so that the word that is written in their law would be fulfilled, ‘They hated me without a reason.’
15:26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father—that one will testify about me.
15:27 And you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
