¹⁰ “For ^(A)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,

^(A)“He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.”

¹² Sow for yourselves righteousness;
Reap in mercy;
^(A)Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord,
Till He ^(B)comes and rains righteousness on you.

^23 (A)Then He will give the rain for your seed
With which you sow the ground,
And bread of the increase of the earth;
It will be ^[a]fat and plentiful.
In that day your cattle will feed
In large pastures.
