When the heavens are restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall sin against You, and they shall pray toward this place, and they shall make confession to Your name, and shall turn from their sins when You shall have humbled them,

then You shall hear from heaven, and be merciful to the sins of Your servant and of Your people Israel; for You shall show them the good way to walk in it, and You shall give rain upon the earth which You have given to Your people for an inheritance.

Show me Your ways, O Lord; and teach me Your paths.

Lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are God my Savior; and I have waited on You all the day.

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in the way.

Who is the man that fears the Lord? He shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.

Blessed is the man whom You shall chasten, O Lord, and shall teach him out of Your law;

Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I will seek it out continually.

And many nations shall go, and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and they shall show us His way, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth a law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught of God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to Me.

and your ears shall hear the words of them that went after you to lead you astray, who say, This [is] the way, let us walk in it, whether to the right or to the left.

Thus says the Lord, Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way and walk in it, and you shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in them].

And let the Lord your God declare to us the way in which we should walk, and the thing which we should do.

And Elijah said to the people, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon, and he executed them there.

And Ahab went up to eat and to drink; and Elijah went up to Carmel, and stooped to the ground, and put his face between his knees,

And the servant went again seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that behold, a little cloud like the sole of a man's foot brought water; and he said, Go up, and say to Ahab, make ready your chariot, and go down, lest the rain overtake you.

And if a cloud obscures what is precious to Him, His light will disperse the cloud.

this has been appointed by Him on the earth, whether for correction, or for His land, or if He shall find him [an object] for mercy.

O God, You will grant to Your inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but You have refreshed it.

And they have not said in their heart, Let us fear now the Lord our God, who gives us the early and latter rain, according to the season of the fulfillment of the ordinance of harvest, and has preserved [it] for us.

Is there anyone among the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? And will the sky yield His fullness [at their bidding]? Are not You He? We will even wait on You, O Lord, for You have made all these things.

And I will settle them round about My mountain; and I will give you the rain, the rain of blessing.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, I will hearken to the heaven, and it shall hearken to the earth;

and the earth shall hearken to the grain, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hearken to Jezreel.

Rejoice then and be glad, you children of Zion, in the Lord your God; for He has given you food fully, and He will rain on you the early and the latter rain, as before.

Ask of the Lord rain in [its] season, the early and the latter rain. The Lord has given bright signs, and will give them abundant rain, to everyone grass in the field.

Elijah was a man of similar nature to us, and with a prayer, he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land for three years and six months.

And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
