⁷ “I also withheld^(A) rain from you
    when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
    but withheld it from another.^(B)
One field had rain;
    another had none and dried up.

⁸ People staggered from town to town for water^(A)
    but did not get enough^(B) to drink,
    yet you have not returned^(C) to me,”
declares the Lord.^(D)
