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.”

Then He will give you rain for the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture.

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.

My speech distill as the dew,

As the droplets on the fresh grass

And as the showers on the herb.

You greatly enrich it;
The

You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.

Like showers that water the earth.

Reap in accordance with kindness;

Break up your fallow ground,

For it is time to seek the Lord
Until He comes to

rain righteousness on you.

These have the power to shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

Give

as it is written,
“He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor,
His righteousness

endures forever.”
