Who gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields:

God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.

They are wet with the rain of the mountains, and get into the cracks of the rock for cover.

When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the thunder-flames;

They were waiting for me as for the rain, opening their mouths wide as for the spring rains.

For he takes up the drops from the sea; he sends them through his mist as rain,

For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.

By whom has the way been cut for the flowing of the rain, and the flaming of the thunder;

Causing rain to come on a land where no man is living, on the waste land which has no people;

Has the rain a father? or who gave birth to the drops of night mist?
