¹⁴ that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil.

¹² Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow.

²² Don't be afraid, you animals of the field; For the pastures of the wilderness spring up, For the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

²³ "Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in Yahweh, your God; For he gives you the former rain in just measure, And he causes the rain to come down for you, The former rain and the latter rain, As before.

¹² It is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatever he commands them On the surface of the habitable world,

¹³ Whether it is for correction, or for his land, Or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.

²⁶ I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.

⁹ You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.

¹⁰ You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.

¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.

¹² The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.

¹³ The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.
