For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food;

Διοτι καθως καταβαινει η βροχη και η χιων εκ του ουρανου και δεν επιστρεφει εκει, αλλα ποτιζει την γην και καμνει αυτην να εκφυη και να βλαστανη, δια να δωση σπορον εις τον σπειροντα και αρτον εις τον εσθιοντα,

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
