Make this valley full of ditches Which may receive the water and retain it, for the use of men and beasts. They that expect God's blessings, must prepare room for them. Ye shall not see wind Any of those winds which commonly bring rain. Seeing is here put for perceiving or feeling; the words belonging to one sense, being frequently applied to another. Neither shall ye see rain Elijah, by prayer, obtained water from the sea and clouds: but Elisha fetches it nobody knows whence. God is not confined to second causes. Ordinarily it is by a plentiful rain that he refreshes his inheritance: but here it is done without any such means. Yet that valley shall be filled with water That valley only, it seems, and no other place, however near or adjoining, which greatly increased the miracle.
