Job 38:27

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring:

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

As for the earth, out of it comes bread; Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunder storm,

You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.

I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the middle of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

For Yahweh says, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals.

He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.

Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.

To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.

It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.

to cause it to rain on a land where there is no man, on the wilderness, in which there is no man,

He sends springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.

who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness endures forever.

No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,

Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”

Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”

Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals.”

who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;

Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder,

Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.

Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.

“See now, behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.

For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:

For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.

I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.

Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?

until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

“I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, and the piece where it didn’t rain withered.

Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”

Ask of Yahweh rain in the spring time, Yahweh who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.

But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
