“And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.”
And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors—the totality of drought encompasses grain, wine, oil, wild growth, humans, and animals. The comprehensive scope of divine withholding suggests that covenant violation disrupts the entire created order. Futility marks all endeavor undertaken outside covenant priority.
