Bible verse
Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”
Genesis 40:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Genesis 40.
15 For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing for which they should have put me in this dungeon.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: There were three baskets of white bread on my head.
17 In the top basket were all sorts of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 Joseph replied, “This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.”
20 On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he held a feast for all his officials, and in their presence he lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
21 Pharaoh restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand.
22 But Pharaoh hanged the chief baker, just as Joseph had described to them in his interpretation.
23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot all about him.
