And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; / Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid: / What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: / Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein; / Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.
