16 Now then, take your positions here, and see this great thing that the Lord is about to do right in front of your eyes. 17 Isn’t today the time of wheat harvest? I will call to the Lord, and he will send thunder and rain,[a] so that you may know and see that your wickedness is great, that wickedness which you have done in the Lord’s sight by asking for a king.
