Elijah Predicts a Drought
1Now Elijah the Tishbite, of cTishbe ▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew of the settlers
in Gilead, said to Ahab, e“As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, fbefore whom I stand, gthere shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” 1 Kings 18:2
2So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.Jeremiah 14:1-6
Famine, Sword, and Pestilence
1The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning hthe drought:2 i“Judah mourns,
and jher gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
and kthe cry of Jerusalem goes up.
3Her nobles send their servants for water;
they come to the cisterns;
they find no water;
they return with their vessels empty;
they are lashamed and confounded
and mcover their heads.
4Because of the ground that is dismayed,
since there is nno rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.
5Even othe doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
6 pThe wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no vegetation.
Amos 4:7
7 “I also qwithheld the rain from youwhen there were yet three months to the harvest;
rI would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
