Thy heaven... shall be brass, and the earth... iron. — Not only in respect of the drought, but of God’s refusal to remove it. See Jeremiah 14:15 for a most pathetic intercession for Israel under this misery, answered by the order, “Pray not for this people for their good” (Jeremiah 14:11). Only grief is permitted (Deuteronomy 28:17). Relief is not given (Deuteronomy 15:1).
