The LORD shall open unto you his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend unto many nations, and you shall not borrow.

Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

Who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields:

To set up on high those that are low; that those who mourn may be lifted to safety.

Also with moisture he loads the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:

He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

You visit the earth, and water it: you greatly enrich it with the river of God, which is full of water: you prepare them grain, when you have so provided for it.

You crown the year with your goodness; and your paths drop fatness.

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy, they also sing.

Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? are not you he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon you: for you have made all these things.

And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.

Be not afraid, you beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring up, for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain faithfully, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain.
