And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 4 of Amos. God withheld the rain to provoke recognition and dependence. The drought affected some cities while others received water, making it clear that agricultural prosperity was not under absolute human control.

Auch habe ich den Regen über euch verhalten, da noch drei Monate waren bis zur Ernte; und ließ regnen über eine Stadt und auf die andere Stadt ließ ich nicht regnen; ein Acker ward beregnet, und der andere Acker, der nicht beregnet ward, verdorrte.
Y también yo os detuve la lluvia tres meses antes de la siega: e hice llover sobre una ciudad, y sobre otra ciudad no hice llover: sobre una parte llovió; la parte sobre la cual no llovió, secose.
Yo también les retuve la lluvia cuando aún faltaban tres meses para la cosecha. Hice llover sobre una ciudad y sobre otra ciudad no hice llover; una parcela recibía lluvia, y la parcela sobre la que no llovía se secaba.
Et moi, je vous ai refusé la pluie, Lorsqu'il y avait encore trois mois jusqu'à la moisson; J'ai fait pleuvoir sur une ville, Et je n'ai pas fait pleuvoir sur une autre ville; Un champ a reçu la pluie, Et un autre qui ne l'a pas reçue s'est desséché.
E benchè io vi abbia divietata la pioggia, tre mesi intieri avanti la mietitura, ed abbia fatto piovere sopra una città, e non sopra l’altra; e un campo sia stato adacquato di pioggia, ed un altro, sopra il quale non è piovuto, sia seccato;
Além disso, retive de vós a chuva quando ainda faltava três meses para a ceifa; e fiz que chovesse sobre uma cidade, e não chovesse sobre a outra cidade; sobre um campo choveu, mas o outro, sobre o qual não choveu, secou-se.
「在收割的前三個月, 我不降雨在你們那裏, 我降雨在這城, 不降雨在那城; 這塊地有雨, 那塊無雨的地就必枯乾。
