6 After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted-thin and scorched by the east wind.
6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
6 And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind.
6 Then seven more ears grew up, but these were thin and dried out by the east wind.
6 Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
6 Then seven more heads of grain appeared, but these were shriveled and withered by the east wind.

Commentary on Genesis 41:1-8
(Read Genesis 41:1-8)
The means of Joseph's being freed from prison were Pharaoh's dreams, as here related. Now that God no longer speaks to us in that way, it is no matter how little we either heed dreams, or tell them. The telling of foolish dreams can make no better than foolish talk. But these dreams showed that they were sent of God; when he awoke, Pharaoh's spirit was troubled.
