Genesis 40:12-19
English Standard Version
12 Then Joseph said to him, (A)“This is its interpretation: (B)the three branches are three days. 13 In three days Pharaoh will (C)lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer. 14 Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house. 15 For (D)I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and (E)here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head, 17 and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.” 18 And Joseph answered and said, (F)“This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. 19 (G)In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from you!—and (H)hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.”

12 “This is what it means,(A)” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.(B) 13 Within three days(C) Pharaoh will lift up your head(D) and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.(E) 14 But when all goes well with you, remember me(F) and show me kindness;(G) mention me to Pharaoh(H) and get me out of this prison. 15 I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews,(I) and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.”(J)
16 When the chief baker(K) saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation,(L) he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets(M) of bread.[a] 17 In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 “This is what it means,” Joseph said. “The three baskets are three days.(N) 19 Within three days(O) Pharaoh will lift off your head(P) and impale your body on a pole.(Q) And the birds will eat away your flesh.”(R)

Genesis 40:12-19
King James Version
12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
