Theological / Devotional

The latter rain. This statement gives a contrast to v. 14. The clouds that bring the latter rain swell the grain that was sown in the time of the former rain in the autumn of the previous year (see Job 29:23; Jer. 5:24). Similarly, the protection of the king's favor provides an environment that encourages progress (see Ps. 72:6).
