Verse 11

But the land{H776}, whither ye go{H5674}{(H8802)} to possess{H3423}{(H8800)} it, is a land{H776} of hills{H2022} and valleys{H1237}, and drinketh{H8354}{(H8799)} water{H4325} of the rain{H4306} of heaven{H8064}:

Verse 17

And then the LORD'S{H3068} wrath{H639} be kindled{H2734}{(H8804)} against you, and he shut up{H6113}{(H8804)} the heaven{H8064}, that there be no rain{H4306}, and that the land{H127} yield{H5414}{(H8799)} not her fruit{H2981}; and lest ye perish{H6}{(H8804)} quickly{H4120} from off the good{H2896} land{H776} which the LORD{H3068} giveth{H5414}{(H8802)} you.
