Isaiah 45:8

Let the drops fall ye heavens, from above, Yea, let, the skies, pour down righteousness,—Let the earth open and let them bear as their fruit—deliverance And let, justice, spring forth therewith, I—Yahweh, have created it.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
