For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

Biennium est enim quod cœpit fames esse in terra : et adhuc quinque anni restant, quibus nec arari poterit, nec meti.
Vulgate
τοῦτο γὰρ δεύτερον ἔτος λιμὸς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔτι λοιπὰ πέντε ἔτη ἐν οἷς οὐκ ἔσται ἀροτρίασις οὐδὲ ἄμητος·

For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest.
