And Elijah the Tishbite, of the sojourners of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be no dew nor rain these years, except according to my word.
When the heavens are restrained, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against You, and they have prayed toward this place, and confess Your name, and have turned from their sin because You have afflicted them,
So I will return and take My grain in its time, and My wine in its season. And I will snatch away My wool and My flax she uses to cover her shamelessness.
You have sown much, and brought in little; you eat, but not to satiety; you drink, but not to be filled; you dress, but there is no warmth to one. And one hiring out himself hires out himself for a bag of holes.
