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.
24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground
Will eat cured fodder,
Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan.

  1. Isaiah 30:23 rich

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,
11 (B)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [a]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (C)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

  1. Acts 2:41 NU omits gladly

(A)The waters will fail from the sea,
And the river will be wasted and dried up.
The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks (B)of defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.
The papyrus reeds by [a]the River, by the mouth of the River,
And everything sown by the River,
Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.
