If the clouds are full of rain,
    they empty themselves on the earth,

    and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
    (B)giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
    it shall not return to me empty,
but (C)it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
    and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

You visit the earth and (A)water it;[a]
    you greatly enrich it;
(B)the river of God is full of water;
    (C)you provide their grain,
    for so you have prepared it.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
    settling its ridges,
softening it with (D)showers,
    and blessing its growth.
11 You crown the year with your bounty;
    your wagon tracks (E)overflow with abundance.
12 (F)The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
    the hills (G)gird themselves with joy,
13 (H)the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
    the valleys deck themselves with grain,
    they (I)shout and sing together for joy.

  1. Psalm 65:9 Or and make it overflow

22 The poor man died and was carried by (A)the angels (B)to Abraham's side.[a] The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in (C)Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and (D)saw Abraham far off and Lazarus (E)at his side. 24 And he called out, (F)‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and (G)cool my tongue, for (H)I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that (I)you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’
