1. I, the Lord, am the onewho sends storm cloudsand showers of rainto make fields produce.So when the crops need rain,you should pray to me.
2. You can't believe idolsand fortune-tellers,or depend on the hopeyou receive from witchcraftand interpreters of dreams.But you have tried all of these,and now you are like sheepwithout a shepherd.
3. I, the Lord All-Powerful,am fiercely angrywith you leaders,and I will punish you.I care for my people,the nation of Judah,and I will changethis flock of sheepinto charging war horses.
