Jeremiah 14:22

The Nation Hopes In Yahweh

²¹ Do not abhor us , for thy name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. ²² Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Jehovah our God? therefore we will wait for thee; for thou hast made all these things.
