He brings the clouds to punish people, or to water his earth and show his love.
He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.

I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.
Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.
