- there is no rain:
- "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Where¹ [is] the billª of your mother'sª divorcement,ª whom¹ I have put away?ª° or¹ which¹ of my creditorsª°¹ [is it] to whom¹ I have soldª° you? Behold,¹ for your iniquitiesª have ye sold²° yourselves,¹ and for your transgressionsª is your motherª put away.ª° ... Wherefore,¹ when I came,ª° [was there] no¹ man?ª when I called,ª° [was there] none¹ to answer?ª° Is my handª shortened²° at all,ª° that it cannot redeem?ª¹ or¹ have I no¹ powerª to deliver?ª° behold,¹ at my rebukeª I dry upª° the sea,ª I makeª° the riversª a wilderness:ª their fishª stinketh,ª° because [there is] no¹¹ water,ª and diethª° for thirst.ª" {Isa 50:1-2} + "And I will layª° it waste:ª it shall not¹ be pruned,²°¹ nor¹ digged;ª° but there shall come upª° briersª and thorns:ª I will also commandª°¹ the cloudsª that they rain²° no rainª¹¹ upon¹ it." {Isa 5:6} + "Sonª of man,ª when¹ the landª sinnethª° against me by trespassingª° grievously,ª then will I stretch outª° mine handª upon¹ it, and will breakª° the staffª of the breadª thereof, and will sendª° famineª upon it, and will cut offª° manª and beastª from¹ it:" {Ezk 14:13} + "Comeª° to Bethel,ª and transgress;ª° at Gilgalª multiplyª° transgression;ª° and bringª° your sacrificesª every morning,ª [and] your tithesª after threeª years:ª ... I have smittenª° you with blastingª and mildew:ª when your gardensª and your vineyardsª and your fig treesª and your olive treesª increased,ª° the palmerwormª devouredª° [them]: yet have ye not¹ returnedª° unto¹ me, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Ams 4:4-9} + "Theseª haveª° powerª to shutª° heaven,ª that²°¹ it rain²°² not²¹¹¹ inª the daysª of their²¹ prophecy:ª andª haveª° powerª overª watersª to turnª° themª toª blood,ª andª to smiteª° the¹ earthª with allª plagues,ª as often² as²¹ they will.ª°¹" {Rev 11:6}
