1 Samuel 12:16-18

English Standard Version

¹⁶ Now therefore ^(A)stand still and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes. ^17 (B)Is it not wheat harvest today? ^(C)I will call upon the Lord, that he may send thunder and rain. And you shall know and see that ^(D)your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking for yourselves a king.” ¹⁸ So Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day, ^(E)and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
