# I have summoned a drought upon the land

Rain not falling for a long time is spoken of as if Yahweh had told a person to come and make the land dry. Alternate translation: "I have kept the rain from falling on the land" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

# upon the new wine, upon the oil

"Wine" and "oil" are metonyms for grapes and olives. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
