|And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, 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 labour of the hands.  
 
|And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, 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 labour of the hands.  
|"'I brought a plague upon the land, the mountains, all the grain, the new wine, the oil, the ground itself, upon men, cattle, and the labor of men.'"

|"'I brought a drought upon the land, the mountains and grain, upon the new wine, the oil and the crops, upon men, cattle, and on all your labor.'"
|Oddly, "corn" is a British English term for "grain."

|Some improvements to this verse. 1. In British English, "corn" means any kind of cereal, not just maize, including green plants as well as the grain. But grain is OK because... 2. "The ground itself" isn't a good translation of the phrase translated by KJV as "that which the ground bringeth forth". It means plants/crops rather than the soil. 3. There's no sense of the labour being "of men" (as opposed to anyone, male or female, working on the land).
