Yesaya 55:10

55:10 ¹The rain and snow fall from the sky

and do not return,

but instead water the earth

and make it produce and yield crops,

and provide seed for the planter and food for those who must eat.

Yeremia 14:22

14:22 Do any of the worthless idols² of the nations cause rain to fall?

Do the skies themselves send showers?

Is it not you, O Lord our God, who does this?³

So we put our hopes in you⁴

because you alone do all this.”

16:9 A⁵ vision appeared to Paul during the night: A Macedonian man was standing there⁶ urging him,⁷ “Come over⁸ to Macedonia⁹ and help us!”
