--Deuteronomy-- And [then] the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and [lest] ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you. (11:17) The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. (28:24) --1 Kings-- When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them: (8:35) --2 Chronicles-- If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; (7:13) --Jeremiah-- Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. (3:3) --Amos-- And also I have withholden the rain from you, when [there were] yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. (4:7) --Zechariah-- And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up of [all] the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. (14:17) |
