For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 3 of 2 Kings. Elisha announces that the Lord will provide water without rain or wind and will also deliver Moab into the allies’ hands. The prophecy links provision and victory: God can act in a situation that appears naturally impossible. The valley fills with water the following morning, fulfilling the announced word. The passage emphasizes the effective character of the prophetic word. What God declares does not depend on visible conditions appearing sufficient. Divine intervention transforms a situation of wilderness and scarcity into the setting from which Israel receives the provision necessary to continue.

Denn so spricht der HERR: Ihr werdet keinen Wind noch Regen sehen; dennoch soll der Bach voll Wasser werden, daß ihr und euer Gesinde und euer Vieh trinket.
Porque Jehová ha dicho así: No veréis viento, ni veréis lluvia, y este valle será lleno de agua, y beberéis vosotros, y vuestras bestias, y vuestros ganados.
Porque así dice Jehová: No verán viento ni verán lluvia, pero este valle se llenará de agua, y beberán ustedes, sus rebaños y sus animales.
Car ainsi parle l'Eternel: Vous n'apercevrez point de vent et vous ne verrez point de pluie, et cette vallée se remplira d'eau, et vous boirez, vous, vos troupeaux et votre bétail.
Perciocchè così ha detto il Signore: Voi non sentirete vento, e non vedrete pioggia, e pur questa valle si empierà d’acqua, della quale berrete, e voi, e le vostre gregge, e le vostre bestie di servigio.
Porque assim diz o SENHOR: Não vereis vento, e não vereis chuva; todavia este vale se encherá de tanta água, que bebereis vós, o vosso gado e os vossos animais.
因為耶和華如此說:『你們雖不見風,也不見雨,這谷卻必滿了水,使你們和你們的牛羊牲畜都有水喝。』
