² My doctrine shall drop as the rain; My speech shall distil as the dew, As the small rain upon the tender grass, And as the showers upon the herb.

¹⁵ so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand.

⁴⁶ Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop `thy word' toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

⁴⁶ And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

¹⁵ They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.

¹⁶ And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

³¹ Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak.

³² If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee.

³³ If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.

¹⁶ Now therefore hear thou the word of Jehovah: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not `thy word' against the house of Isaac;

⁶ Prophesy ye not, `thus' they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.
