Haggai 1:11

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands." — Haggai 1:11 (ASV)

And I called for a drought upon. —Better, And I invoked a desolation upon. Similarly, in 2 Kings 8:1, Elisha announces to the Shunammite, The Lord hath called a famine, and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
