No dew

‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord,
‘Utterly curse its inhabitants;

Because they did not come to the help of the Lord,

To the help of the Lord against the warriors.’

“Let the day perish on which I was to be born,
And the night which said, ‘A boy is conceived.’

“I will lay it waste;
It will not be pruned or hoed,
But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it.”

Cursed be the day when I was born;
Let the day not be blessed when my mother bore me!

Offerings

The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off

And leave a blessing behind Him,
Even a grain offering and a drink offering
For the Lord your God?

“Rise up, captains, oil the shields,”
