Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the Presence of the Lord:—Lo! the husbandman, awaiteth the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it, until it receive the early and the latter rain:
Neither have they said in their heart,—Let us we pray you, revere Yahweh our God, Who giveth rain, even the early and the latter, in its season,—The appointed weeks of harvest, he reserveth for us.
Thus, saith Yahweh—Who hath given the sun for a light by day, The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,—Who excited the sea, and the waves thereof roared Yahweh of hosts, is his name:—
For these two years, hath the famine been in the midst of the land,—and, yet five years, are there, in which there shall be neither ploughing, nor harvest.
