Ezekiel: 41

41:24And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.

41:24And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

41:24Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.

41:24His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

41:25And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

41:25I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.

41:25And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

41:25When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

41:26The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

41:26Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.

41:26The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

41:26And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.

41:27And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

41:27The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.

41:27He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

41:28This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

41:28For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.

41:28The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

41:29Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

41:29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

41:29Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.

41:30And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

41:30Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

41:31And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

41:31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

41:32And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

41:32He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

41:33Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

41:33Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

41:34Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

41:34He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

41:35And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

41:36And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

41:37And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

41:38And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

41:39And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:

41:40Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

41:41And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

41:42And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;

41:43And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

41:44And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

41:45And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

41:46And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

41:47And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

41:48And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

41:49And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.

41:50And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.

41:51And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.

41:52And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

41:53And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
