²⁴ They do not say in their heart,
    “Let us now fear the Lord our God,
who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season.
    He reserves for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.”

³ Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.
    His appearance is as sure as the dawn.
He will come to us like the rain;
    like the spring rains He will water the earth.

²³ And children of Zion, exult
    and rejoice in the Lord your God,
because He has given to you
    the early rain for vindication.
He showers down rains for you,
    the early rain and the latter rain, as before.

10 Ask for rain from the Lord
    during the season of the latter spring rains.
And the Lord will make the storm winds;
    and He will give them showers of rain;
    all will have vegetation in the field.
