Deuteronomy 11:10-11
Man toils to grow food with irrigation, but God blesses obedience with rainfall, giving rain in due season. To compensate for the lack of God's blessing of rainfall due to sin, man has reasoned that increased irrigation will solve all his agricultural problems. As a result, he has seriously harmed his environment and with it his ability to grow food.
Martin G. Collins
