For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
This is what the LORD says: You won't see any wind or rain, but that valley will be filled with water so that you, your livestock, and all your animals can drink.
God is promising to provide water in a miraculous way - without the usual signs of wind or rain - to meet the desperate needs of His people and their animals.
📚 Historical Context
This prophecy came through the prophet Elisha during a military campaign when the kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom were marching against Moab. They had run out of water in the desert and faced certain death for themselves and their armies. Elisha delivered this promise after initially being reluctant to help because of King Jehoram's unfaithfulness.
