but afterward seven years of famine and hunger will come, and [there will be such desperate need that] all the great abundance [of the previous years] will be forgotten in the land of Egypt [as if it never happened], and famine and destitution will ravage and destroy the land.

so that the plenteousness shall not be once a seen in the land, by reason of that hunger that shall come after, for it shall be exceeding great.
