The verses around it, from Genesis 40.
1 Some time later, the king’s cupbearer and baker offended their master, the king of Egypt.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
3 and imprisoned them in the house of the captain of the guard, the same prison where Joseph was confined.
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he became their personal attendant. After they had been in custody for some time,
5 both of these men—the Egyptian king’s cupbearer and baker, who were being held in the prison—had a dream on the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
6 When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were distraught.
7 So he asked the officials of Pharaoh who were in custody with him in his master’s house, “Why are your faces so downcast today?”
8 “We both had dreams,” they replied, “but there is no one to interpret them.” Then Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.”
