If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

Si clausero cælum, et pluvia non fluxerit, et mandavero et præcepero locustæ ut devoret terram, et misero pestilentiam in populum meum :

Vulgate

ἐὰν συσχῶ τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ μὴ γένηται ὑετός, καὶ ἐὰν ἐντείλωμαι τῇ ἀκρίδι καταφαγεῖν τὸ ξύλον, καὶ ἐὰν ἀποστείλω θάνατον ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου,

LXX

If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
