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,

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.

“ 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,

“ 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 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 distributed freely; he gave to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.Now the one who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will also provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.You will be enriched in every way for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

Then he will send rain for your seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food, the produce of the ground, will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.

Let my teaching fall like rain and my word settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass and showers on tender plants.

Sow righteousness for yourselves and reap faithful love; break up your unplowed ground. It is time to seek the LORD until he comes and sends righteousness on you like the rain.

For as the earth produces its growth, and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

I will make them and the area around my hill a blessing: I will send down showers in their season; they will be showers of blessing.

They have authority to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the days of their prophecy. They also have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every plague whenever they want.

You visit the earth and water it abundantly, enriching it greatly. God’s stream is filled with water, for you prepare the earth in this way, providing people with grain.You soften it with showers and bless its growth, soaking its furrows and leveling its ridges.You crown the year with your goodness; your carts overflow with plenty.The wilderness pastures overflow, and the hills are robed with joy.The pastures are clothed with flocks and the valleys covered with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.

May the king be like rain that falls on the cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.May the righteous flourish in his days and well-being abound until the moon is no more.

I will make it a wasteland. It will not be pruned or weeded; thorns and briers will grow up. I will also give orders to the clouds that rain should not fall on it.

Once again, David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him,“ Go at once to Keilah, for I will hand the Philistines over to you.”
