5 So now do not be grieved or angry [a]with yourselves because (A)you sold me here, for (B)God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For the famine has been in the land (C)these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 (D)So God sent me before you to establish for you a remnant in the earth and to keep you alive for a great remnant of survivors.
