Jeremiah 14:22

The Nation Hopes In Yahweh

²¹ For thy name's sake, do not spurn us, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. ²² Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou HE, Jehovah, our God? And we wait upon thee; for thou hast made all these things.
