Job 29:23

As for the rain; as the earth or the husbandman waiteth for the rain, to wit, the former rain, of which see Deuteronomy 11:14, because the latter rain is here opposed to it: see James 5:7. They opened their mouth to receive my words, and therewith to satisfy their thirst, as the dry and parched earth gapes or opens its mouth to receive the rain.
