English Standard Version

Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives the rain in its season, the autumn rain and the spring rain, and keeps for us the weeks appointed for the harvest.

Jeremiah 5:24

Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

Psalm 36:5

Jeremiah 5 (English Standard Version)

21 “Hear this, O foolish and senseless people,
who have eyes, but see not,
who have ears, but hear not.
22 Do you not fear me? declares the Lord.
Do you not tremble before me?
I placed the sand as the boundary for the sea,
a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass;
though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
though they roar, they cannot pass over it.
23 But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart;
they have turned aside and gone away.
24 They do not say in their hearts,
‘Let us fear the Lord our God,
who gives the rain in its season,
the autumn rain and the spring rain,
and keeps for us
the weeks appointed for the harvest.’
25 Your iniquities have turned these away,
and your sins have kept good from you.
26 For wicked men are found among my people;
they lurk like fowlers lying in wait.
They set a trap;
they catch men.
27 Like a cage full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;
therefore they have become great and rich;

Psalm 36 (English Standard Version)

2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;
he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4 He plots trouble while on his bed;
he sets himself in a way that is not good;
he does not reject evil.
5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Lord.
7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

We should appreciate the Lord our God, who sends the autumn and spring rains at the right time, who makes sure we can have a harvest every year.

Jeremiah 5:24

Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.

Psalm 36:5

Jeremiah 5 (Free Bible Version)

21 Listen to this, you foolish, stupid people, who have eyes but don't see, who have ears but don't hear.
22 Aren't you afraid of what I can do? declares the Lord. Don't you think you should tremble in my presence? I am the one who set up the shore as the sea's boundary, an everlasting limit that it can't cross. The waves crash against it, but they can't defeat it. They roar, but they can't cross the barrier.
23 But you people have a stubborn and rebellious attitude. You have left me and gone your own way.
24 You didn't think to say, “We should appreciate the Lord our God, who sends the autumn and spring rains at the right time, who makes sure we can have a harvest every year.”
25 Your wrong actions have taken these benefits from you; your sins have deprived you of my blessings.
26 For there are wicked men among my people. They're like bird-trappers, secretly watching and waiting to catch people in their snare.
27 Their homes are full of their ill-gotten gains, like cages full of birds. That's why they've become powerful and rich.

Psalm 36 (Free Bible Version)

2 In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
3 Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
4 Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
6 Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
8 They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
