18 Upon that Samuel called to Jehovah,+ and Jehovah proceeded to give thunders and rain on that day,+ so that all the people were greatly in fear of Jehovah and of Samuel.

23 And he will certainly give the rain for your seed with which you sow the ground,+ and as the produce of the ground bread, which must become fat and oily.+ Your livestock will graze in that day in a spacious pasture.+

24 But they have not said in their heart: “Let us, now, fear Jehovah our God,+ the One who is giving the downpour and the autumn rain and the spring rain in its season,+ the One who guards even the prescribed weeks of the harvest for us.”+
