²⁶ To cause `it' to rain on a land -- no man, A wilderness -- no man in it.

³⁵ He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.

²⁷ When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour,

¹⁰ Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.

¹¹ They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break their thirst.

¹² By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.

¹³ Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.

¹⁴ Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

⁸ Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up `on' mountains,

⁹ Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

¹ They joy from the wilderness and dry place, And rejoice doth the desert, and flourish as the rose,

² Flourishing it doth flourish, and rejoice, Yea, `with' joy and singing, The honour of Lebanon hath been given to it, The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They -- they see the honour of Jehovah, The majesty of our God.

¹⁹ Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place -- floods.

²⁰ Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people -- My chosen.

²² Are there among the vanities of the nations any causing rain? And do the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O Jehovah our God? And we wait for thee, for Thou -- Thou hast done all these!

⁷ For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God,

⁸ and that which is bearing thorns and briers `is' disapproved of, and nigh to cursing, whose end `is' for burning;

¹⁸ I open on high places rivers, And in midst of valleys fountains, I make a wilderness become a pond of water, And a dry land become springs of water.

¹⁹ I give in a wilderness the cedar, Shittah, and myrtle, and oil-tree, I set in a desert the fir-pine and box-wood together.
