『也是我在收割前還有三個月使雨停止不降在你們那裏；我降雨在一個城，不降雨在另一個城；這一塊地有雨，那一塊地無雨，就枯乾了。

“在收割的前三月，我使雨停止，不降在你们那里；我降雨在这城，不降雨在那城；这块地有雨，那块地无雨；无雨的就枯干了。

“在收割的前三个月，我不降雨在你们那里，我降雨在这城，不降雨在那城；这块地有雨，那块无雨的地就必枯干。

“在收割的前三个月，我不降雨在你们那里，我降雨在这城，不降雨在那城；这块地有雨，那块无雨的地就必枯干。

“我在收割前三个月停止降雨。我在一座城降雨，在另一座城不降雨；我使一块田有雨水的滋润，另一块田因无雨而干裂。

“我曾在收割前三个月，不降雨给你们；我降雨给一个城，在另一个城却不降雨；我在一块地降雨，另一块地没有雨水就枯干了。

在收割的前三月，我使雨停止，不降在你們那裏；我降雨在這城，不降雨在那城；這塊地有雨，那塊地無雨；無雨的就枯乾了。

「在收割的前三個月，我不降雨在你們那裏，我降雨在這城，不降雨在那城；這塊地有雨，那塊無雨的地就必枯乾。

穫前三月、我禁厥雨、惟雨此邑、不雨彼邑、一田得雨、他田無雨、則枯槁焉、

耶和華又曰、秋前三月、我不降雨、惟雨一邑、他邑不雨、惟潤一田、他田不潤、遂致荒蕪、

穡前三月、我禁止雨降、降雨於一邑、不降雨於他邑、一田得雨、他田不得雨、遂致乾旱、

“ I also withheld rain from you when the harvest was still three months away. I sent rain on one town, but withheld it from another. One field had rain; another had none and dried up.

“ I also held back rain from you. The time to harvest crops was still three months away. I sent rain on one town. But I held it back from another. One field had rain. But another had no rain and dried up.

“ I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain on one city, and send no rain on another city; one field would have rain, and the field on which it did not rain would wither;

“ I kept the rain from falling when your crops needed it the most. I sent rain on one town but withheld it from another. Rain fell on one field, while another field withered away.

I also withheld the rain from you while there were still three months until harvest. I sent rain on one city but no rain on another. One field received rain while a field with no rain withered.

“ Furthermore, I withheld the rain from you While there were still three months until harvest. Then I would send rain on one city, But on another city I would not send rain; One part would be rained on, While the part not rained on would dry up.

“ I also withheld rain from you, When there were still three months to the harvest. I made it rain on one city, I withheld rain from another city. One part was rained upon, And where it did not rain the part withered.

And I also 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.

I also withheld the rain from you while there were still three months until harvest. I sent rain on one city but no rain on another. One field received rain while a field with no rain withered.

“ I withheld rain from you three months before the harvest. I gave rain to one city, but not to another. One field would get rain, but the field that received no rain dried up.

“ 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.

因此甘霖停止，春雨不降；你還有妓女面孔，不顧羞恥！

惟獨在歌珊地、以色列人那裏、沒有冰雹。

我要使它荒廢，不再修整，不再鋤刨，蒺藜荊棘倒要長起來；我也要吩咐雲彩、別降雨在園子上。

以利亞是和我們同樣性質的人；他懇切禱告，求別下雨，雨就三年零六個月沒有下在地上。

三天之久、人彼此都看不見，人也不起來、離開所在之地；惟獨以色列人住的地方都有亮光。

但是永恆主必分別以色列的牲畜和埃及的牲畜：凡屬以色列人的、一隻也不死。」』

耕種土地的驚慌失措，因為沒有霖雨在地上；耕地的人都失望，抱頭蒙羞。

『經了這樣的事、你們若還不聽從我，行事反而跟我作對，我就要發烈怒，行事跟你們作對；我要因你們的罪而懲罰你們七倍。

那麼我就把一團未整理的羊毛安置在禾場上；如果單單羊毛上有露水，而遍地都是乾的，我就知道你要照你所說的藉着我的手來拯救以色列。』第二天基甸清早起來，果然這樣；他將羊毛擠一擠，就從羊毛中擰出露水來，擰了滿盆的水。基甸又對上帝說：『請不要向我發怒；我就只要對你再說一次，就只這一次；請讓我再把羊毛試試：但願單單羊毛是乾的，而遍地都有露水。』那一夜上帝也這樣行：單單在羊毛上是乾的，遍地都有露水。

『你人民因犯罪得罪了你，天便被制住而沒有雨水；你這樣懲罰他們，他們若向這聖地禱告，稱讚你的名，離開他們的罪而回轉過來，求你在天上垂聽，赦免你僕人和你人民以色列的罪，將他們應當行的好道路指教他們，賜雨水在你的地上、就是你賜給你人民做產業之地。

故此、為了你們的緣故、天就停降雨露，地也停生土產。我呼叫乾旱臨到了地上山岡，臨到了五穀、新酒、新油、和土地的出產，臨到了人類、牲口、以及人手所勞碌得來的一切東西。』

以致永恆主向你們發怒，就把天抑制着，使天沒有雨水，田地生不出土產，你們就會從永恆主所賜給你們的美地上迅速地滅亡。

『經了這些事、你們若不接受管教而歸向我，行事反而跟我作對，那麼我、行事也就跟你們作對。我要因你們的罪擊打你們七倍；

將來地上的萬族中、凡不上耶路撒冷來敬拜至大的王、萬軍之永恆主的、必沒有霖雨降在他們地上。

田野毁壞，土地悲哀；因為五穀毁壞，新酒池令人失望，新油衰萎不繼。耕地的人很失望，修理葡萄園的哀號着，為了大麥小麥而悲哀；因為田間的莊稼都壞掉了。葡萄樹令人失望，無花果樹衰萎凋殘；石榴樹、及棕樹、蘋果樹、田野所有的樹木都枯乾了：唉，歡躍之樂也令人失望而不在人間了。祭司啊，腰束麻布而慟哭吧！伺候祭壇的啊，哀號哦！伺候我的上帝的啊，披着麻布進殿去過夜吧！因為素祭和奠祭都從你們的上帝殿中停止了。要行聖禮擬定禁食，宣告聖節會哦；要聚集眾長老、國中一切居民到你們的上帝永恆主的殿，向永恆主哀呼哦。有禍啊那日！因為永恆主的日子臨近了，就像毁滅出於毁滅者。糧食不是在我們眼前斷絕了麼？歡喜快樂不是從我們的上帝殿中止息了麼？穀種在耙子底下都萎縮了；倉房淒涼，廩室翻毁，因為五穀令人失望了。牲口哀鳴着，牛羣滿處亂竄，因為找不到草場；羊羣也餓得發獃。

我若將天抑制住、使它沒有雨水，我若吩咐蚱蜢來喫這地的物產，或是打發瘟疫到我人民中間；我人民、這以我名被稱呼的人民、若自己謙卑，禱告，尋求要朝見我，若轉離他們的壞行徑，我就從天上垂聽，赦免他們的罪，醫治他們的地。

這兩個人有權柄把天閉塞着，叫雨水在他們傳講神言的日子不下來；又有權柄掌管眾水、叫水變成了血；他們並且能用各樣災殃、按所要的次數擊打大地。

外國人虛無的神之中有能降霖雨的麼？天能自降甘霖麼？能如此的豈不是你、永恆主我們的上帝麼？所以我們仍等候着你，因為是你行了這一切事。

『錫安的子民哪，要快樂，要靠着永恆主你們的上帝來歡喜；因為他賜給你們秋霖以顯義氣，他給你們降下甘霖，就是秋霖春雨、像先前一樣。

你頭上的天必變為銅，你腳下的地必變為鐵。永恆主必將飛塵沙土代替你地上所需要的雨水；塵土必從天上下到你身上，直到你消滅。

他們心裏也不說：「我們應當敬畏永恆主我們的上帝：他按時賜霖雨，就是秋霖春雨；又為我們存着收割的制定節令。」你們的罪孽將這些事推開了；你們的罪攔阻了你們得福利。

經了這些事你們若還不聽從我，我就要因你們的罪加七倍懲罰你們；我必挫折你們的勢力所驕矜的；使你們的天像鐵、你們的地像銅；你們必白白用盡力氣，你們的地也不出土產，地上的樹木也不結果子。『你們行事若跟我作對，不情願聽從我，我就要按你們的罪加七倍疫災給你們。

你們不是說、還有四個月、而收割的時候就到了麼？看哪，我告訴你們，舉目看田地，已經蒼白、可以收割了。

但是當那日、我必分別我人民所住的歌珊地，使那裏沒有蒼蠅羣，好叫你知道在全地中我是永恆主。

誰使你跟別人有分別呢？你有甚麼不是領受的呢？既也是領受的，為甚麼誇口、好像不是領受的呢？
