behold, I am laying a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece alone, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.”

Then Gideon said to God, ‘Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece, but this time make the fleece dry and let the ground be covered with dew.’

Then Gideon said to God, “Let not your anger burn against me; let me speak just once more. Please let me test just once more with the fleece. Please let it be dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground let there be dew.”

That night God did so. Only the fleece was dry; all the ground was covered with dew.

And God did so that night; and it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.

My skin grows black and peels;

my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;

You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
as heat by the shade of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is put down.

The word of the  Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:

I swear by myself,’ declares the  Lord, ‘that Bozrah will become a ruin and a curse, an object of horror and reproach; and all its towns will be in ruins for ever.’

I cared for you in the wilderness,
in the land of burning heat.

It was I who knew you in the wilderness,
in the land of drought;

Flocks and herds will lie down there,
creatures of every kind.
The desert owl and the screech owl
will roost on her columns.
Their hooting will echo through the windows,
rubble will fill the doorways,
the beams of cedar will be exposed.

Herds shall lie down in her midst,
all kinds of beasts;
even the owl and the hedgehog
shall lodge in her capitals;
a voice shall hoot in the window;
devastation will be on the threshold;
for her cedar work will be laid bare.

I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labour of your hands.’

And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors.”
