【王上17:1】 基列寄居的提斯比人以利亚对亚哈说,我指着所事奉永生耶和华以色列的神起誓,这几年我若不祷告,必不降露,不下雨。
Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, 'As the Lord , the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.'
【雅5:17】 以利亚与我们是一样性情的人,他恳切祷告,求不要下雨,雨就三年零六个月不下在地上。
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
