Deuteronomy 11:14-17
New American Standard Bible
14 that [a](A)He will provide rain for your land in its season, the [b](B)early and [c]late rain, so that you may gather your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 [d](C)He will also provide grass in your field for your cattle, and (D)you will eat and be satisfied. 16 [e](E)Beware that your hearts are not easily deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods, and worship them. 17 Otherwise, (F)the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will (G)shut up the sky (H)so that there will be no rain, and the ground will not yield its produce; then (I)you will quickly perish from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

Job 38:34-38
New American Standard Bible
34 “Can you raise your voice to the clouds,
So that an (A)abundance of water will cover you?
35 Can you (B)send flashes of lightning, so that they may go
And say to you, ‘Here we are’?
36 Who has (C)put wisdom in the innermost being,
Or given (D)understanding to the [a]mind?
37 Who can count the clouds by wisdom,
And (E)pour out the water jars of the heavens,
38 When the dust hardens into a mass
And the clods stick together?

Isaiah 5:6
New American Standard Bible
6 I will (A)lay it waste;
It will not be pruned nor hoed,
But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also command the clouds not to (B)rain on it.”
Jeremiah 5:22-25
New American Standard Bible
22 Do you not (A)fear Me?’ declares the Lord.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have (B)placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal limit, and it will not cross over it.
Though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, they will not cross over it.
23 But this people has a (C)stubborn and rebellious heart;
They have turned aside and departed.
24 They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
Who (D)gives rain in its season,
Both (E)the autumn rain and the spring rain,
Who keeps for us
The (F)appointed weeks of the harvest.”
25 Your (G)wrongdoings have turned these away,
And your sins have kept good away from you.
