TSK · Amos 4:7

And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms [of flies] shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I [am] the LORD in the midst of the earth.

Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel [were], was there no hail.

And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

And thy heaven that [is] over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee [shall be] iron.

When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:

And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed [from] her fruit.

‹Say not ye, There are yet four months, and› [then] ‹cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.›

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
