When the heavens are restrained and there is no rain because they have sinned against You; when they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your name, and turned from their sin because You afflicted them,

then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

Make me know Your ways, O Jehovah; teach me Your paths.

Lead me in Your truth, and teach me; for You are the God of my salvation; upon You do I wait all day long.

Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore He teaches sinners in the way.

Who is the man that fears Jehovah? He shall teach him in the way that He chooses.

Blessed is the man whom You correct, O YAH, and teach out of Your Law,

HE: Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of Your Statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.

And many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For the Law shall go forth out of Zion, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

It is written in the Prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.

Thus says Jehovah, Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way is, and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it.

that Jehovah your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do.

And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape! So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and slaughtered them there.

So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees,

And it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea! So he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.

He also loads the thick clouds with moisture; He scatters His bright clouds;

He causes it to come, whether as a rod, or for His land, or for mercy.

You, O God, sent a plentiful rain, by which You established Your inheritance when it was weary.

Neither do they say in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, who gives both the former and the latter rain in its season; He reserves unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Are there any among the vain idols of the nations who can make it rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not You, O Jehovah our God. Therefore we will wait upon You; for You have made all these things.

And I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing.

And it shall come to pass in that day that I will answer, says Jehovah. I will answer the heavens, and they shall respond to the earth.

And the earth shall respond with grain, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Jezreel.

Be glad then, you sons of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God. For He has given to you the early rain according to righteousness, and He will cause the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain in the first month.

Ask rain from Jehovah in the time of the latter rain. Jehovah shall make lightnings. And He gives them showers of rain, to everyone grass in the field.

Elijah was a man with feelings like ours, and he prayed to God that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

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