Isaiah 5:6

I will ^alay it waste;

It will not be pruned or hoed,

But briars and thorns will come up.

I will also command the clouds to ^brain no rain on it.”

Deuteronomy 32:2

^aLet what I have learned drop as the rain,

My speech distill as the dew,

^bAs the droplets on the fresh grass

And as the showers on the herb.

^aIs as the light of the morning when the sun rises,

A morning without clouds,

From brightness of the sun after rain.’

With the tender grass springing from the earth,

¹May he come down ^alike rain upon the mown grass,

Like ^bshowers that water the earth.
