Genesis 41:9

Pharaoh
Guilt and conscience

7 And the thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven plump, ripe ones. Then Pharaoh awoke and realized it was a dream.

8 In the morning his spirit was troubled, so he summoned all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.

Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures.

10 Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he put me and the chief baker in the custody of the captain of the guard.

11 One night both the chief baker and I had dreams, and each dream had its own meaning.
