“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;

You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.

idols of the nations who give rain?

Or can the heavens grant showers?
Is it not You, O Lord our God?
Therefore we

hope in You,

For You are the one who has done all these things.

Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
