Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers upon the grass.

And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, like the tender grass springing out of the earth, by clear shining after rain.

In the light of the king's face is life, and his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain.

The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion; but his favor is like dew on the grass.

and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor dug; but briers and thorns shall come up. And I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

And it shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard service with which you were worked,

Jehovah has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers

I will raise up one Shepherd over them, and He shall feed them; My servant David. He shall feed them and be their Shepherd.

I will make a covenant of peace with them, and remove the evil beasts out of the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the wooded forests.

Then we shall know, we who follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is established as the dawn. And He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.

I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily and thrust forth his roots like Lebanon.

They who live under his shadow shall return; they shall live like the grain, and blossom like the vine; their remembrance shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
