And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide[ as] for the latter rain.[ If] I laughed on them, they believed[ it] not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
Then shall we know,[ if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter[ and] former rain unto the earth.
Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain;[ so] the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
