Job 28:26; Job 38:26; Job 38:28; Zechariah 10:1–2

26  when he made a decree for the rain

and wa way for the lightning of the thunder,


26  to bring rain on pa land where no man is,

on qthe desert in which there is no man,


28  Has sthe rain a father,

or who has begotten the drops of dew?


The Restoration for Judah and Israel

10  Ask rain bfrom the Lord

in the season of cthe spring rain,

from the Lord dwho makes the storm clouds,

and ehe will give them showers of rain,

to everyone the vegetation in the field.

For fthe household gods gutter nonsense,

and the diviners see lies;

hthey tell false dreams

and give empty consolation.

Therefore ithe people wander like sheep;

they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.
