65:10 You saturate its furrows, and soak its plowed ground. With rain showers you soften its soil, and make its crops grow.

65:11 You crown the year with your good blessings, and you leave abundance in your wake.

65:12 The pastures in the wilderness glisten with moisture, and the hills are clothed with joy.

65:13 The meadows are clothed with sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout joyfully, yes, they sing.
