- If I shut up heaven:
- "When the heavenª is shut up,ª° and there is¹ no¹ rain,ª because¹ they have sinnedª° against thee; [yet] if they prayª° toward¹ this¹ place,ª and confessª°¹ thy name,ª and turnª° from their sin,ª¹ when¹ thou dost afflictª° them; ... If¹ there be¹ dearthª in the land,ª if¹ there be¹ pestilence,ª if¹ there be¹ blasting,ª or mildew,ª locusts,ª or caterpillers;ª if¹ their enemiesª° besiegeª° them in the citiesª of their land;ª whatsoever¹ soreª or whatsoever¹ sicknessª [there be]:" {2Ch 6:26-28} + "And [then] the LORD'Sª wrathª be kindledª° against you, and he shut upª°¹ the heaven,ª that there be¹ no¹ rain,ª and that the landª yieldª° not¹¹ her fruit;ª and [lest] ye perishª° quicklyª from off¹¹ the goodª landª which¹ the LORDª givethª° you." {Deu 11:17} + "If¹ he cut off,ª° and shut up,ª° or gather together,ª° then who¹ can hinderª° him?" {Job 11:10} + "Behold,¹ he breaketh down,ª° and it cannot¹ be built again:ª° he shutteth upª°¹ a man,ª and there can be no opening.ª°¹" {Job 12:14} + "A fruitfulª landª into barrenness,ª for the wickednessª¹ of them that dwellª° therein." {Psa 107:34} + "Butª I tellª° youª ofª a truth,ª manyª widowsª wereª° inª Israelª inª the¹ daysª of Elias,ª whenª the¹ heavenª was shut upª°² threeª yearsª andª sixª months,ª whenª greatª famineª wasª° throughoutª allª the¹ land;ª" {Lke 4:25} + "Andª to the¹ angelª of the¹ churchª inª Philadelphiaª write;ª° These thingsª saithª° he that is holy,ª he that is true,ª he that hathª° the¹ keyª of David,ª he that openeth,ª° andª no manª shutteth;ª° andª shutteth,ª° andª no manª openeth;ª°" {Rev 3:7} + "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}
