“ For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

雨雪从天而降，并不返回，却滋润地土，使地上发芽结实，使撒种的有种，使要吃的有粮。

雨雪从天而降，并不返回，却要滋润土地，使地面发芽结实，使撒种的有种，使要吃的有粮。

雨雪从天而降，并不返回，却要滋润土地，使地面发芽结实，使撒种的有种，使要吃的有粮。

雨雪从天降下，并不返回，而是要滋润大地，使地上的植物发芽生长，叫播种的有种子，吃饭的有食粮。

雨雪怎样从天上降下来，不再返回天上，却灌溉大地，使地上的植物发芽结实，使撒种的有种子，吃的人有粮食；

雨雪怎样从天而降，不徒然返回原处，却滋润大地，使地上发芽结实，让播种的有种子，吃食的有粮食；

雨雪從天而降，並不返回，卻滋潤地土，使地上發芽結實，使撒種的有種，使要吃的有糧。

雨雪從天而降，並不返回，卻要滋潤土地，使地面發芽結實，使撒種的有種，使要吃的有糧。

雨雪從天而降，並不返回，卻要滋潤土地，使地面發芽結實，使撒種的有種，使要吃的有糧。

雨雪從天降下，並不返回，而是要滋潤大地，使地上的植物發芽生長，叫播種的有種子，吃飯的有食糧。

雨雪怎樣從天上降下來，不再返回天上，卻灌溉大地，使地上的植物發芽結實，使撒種的有種子，吃的人有糧食；

『因為霖雨和雪怎樣從天上降下，並不返回天上，乃是滋潤大地，使地上生五穀，發芽生長，使撒種的有種子，使喫飯的人有糧食，

雨雪怎樣從天而降，不徒然返回原處，卻滋潤大地，使地上發芽結實，讓播種的有種子，吃食的有糧食；

譬諸雨雪、自天而降、不返於上、潤澤土壤、使之萌芽結實、以種與播者、以糧與食者、

譬諸雨雪、自天降者、不能復歸於上、潤澤土壤、使之萌芽結實、耕者以為種、饑者以為食、

譬諸雨雪、自天而降、不返於上、必滋潤土壤、使之萌芽結實、使播者有種、使饑者饑者原文作欲食者得食、

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

The rain and the snow come down from the sky. They do not return to it without watering the earth. They make plants come up and grow. The plants produce seeds for farmers. They also produce food for people to eat.

“ The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.

For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it produce and sprout, And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

“ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,

For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

The rain and snow fall from the sky and do not return, but instead water the earth and make it produce and yield crops, and provide seed for the planter and food for those who must eat.

For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

As it is written,“ He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.

And he will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and bread, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. In that day your livestock will graze in large pastures,

May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb.

Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and rain righteousness upon you.

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.

And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.

They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.

You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it.You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with abundance.The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy,the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy.

May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth!In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!

I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

Then David inquired of the Lord again. And the Lord answered him,“ Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your hand.”
