5:6 I will make it a wasteland;
no one will prune its vines or hoe its ground, 1
and thorns and briers will grow there.
I will order the clouds
not to drop any rain on it.
30:23 He will water the seed you plant in the ground,
and the ground will produce crops in abundance. 2
At that time 3 your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
61:11 For just as the ground produces its crops
and a garden yields its produce,
so the sovereign Lord will cause deliverance 4 to grow,
and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations. 5
32:2 My teaching will drop like the rain,
my sayings will drip like the dew, 6
as rain drops upon the grass,
and showers upon new growth.
32:1 Listen, O heavens, and I will speak;
hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
65:9 You visit the earth and give it rain; 7
you make it rich and fertile 8
with overflowing streams full of water. 9
You provide grain for them, 10
for you prepare the earth to yield its crops. 11
65:10 You saturate 12 its furrows,
and soak 13 its plowed ground. 14
With rain showers you soften its soil, 15
and make its crops grow. 16
65:11 You crown the year with your good blessings, 17
and you leave abundance in your wake. 18
65:12 The pastures in the wilderness glisten with moisture, 19
and the hills are clothed with joy. 20
65:13 The meadows are clothed with sheep,
and the valleys are covered with grain.
They shout joyfully, yes, they sing.
72:6 He 21 will descend like rain on the mown grass, 22
like showers that drench 23 the earth. 24
72:7 During his days the godly will flourish; 25
peace will prevail as long as the moon remains in the sky. 26
10:12 Sow righteousness for yourselves,
reap unfailing love.
Break up the unplowed ground for yourselves,
for it is time to seek the Lord,
until he comes and showers deliverance 28 on you.
