“And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;”
But seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land. The unfavorable follows immediately — the seven years of abundance will be followed by seven years of famine so severe that the abundance will be forgotten. The application: the person who has delivered the favorable news does not stop before delivering the unfavorable. The full message requires both.
