But even after they had eaten them, no one could tell they had done so — they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up.
In context
19After them, seven other cows came up — scrawny and very gaunt and lean. I have never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt. 20The lean, ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows. 21But even after they had eaten them, no one could tell they had done so — they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up. 22In my dream I also saw seven heads of grain, full and good, growing on a single stalk, 23and after them, seven other heads sprouted up — withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind.
