ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

The valleys of Gilboa and the mountains of Lebanon, when the rain of mercy from the Lord does not come down upon them, do not put forth grass for the cattle and for the wild beasts.
And the mountains of Gilead and the valleys of Elam too give no greenery for the goats and for the herds that are seen, and for the beasts of the wilderness, both the gazelles and the bulls and the strong ones.
And likewise the rebels and the heretics who from of old got themselves possession of rebellion and error, if the dew of mercy from the Lord does not come down upon them, the dead cannot rise, nor the sorcerers and seducers, the Cypriots and the men of Dema, the slanderers.
and those who commit fornication without law, and the Athenians and Medes who trust in their idols and sing to them and make merry before them with the drum and the lyre and the harp;
and those who play the madman with their idols and make merry with the work of their own hands, which cannot save themselves; these shall be condemned in the day of judgment, at the resurrection.
