26They bring water to places where no one lives.
They water deserts that do not have anyone in them.
27They satisfy the needs of dry and empty lands.
They make grass start growing there.
28Does the rain have a father?
Who is the father of the drops of dew?

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is;
On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
To satisfy the desolate and waste ground;
And to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
Hath the rain a father?
Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
