Talmud for Taanit 44:9
ועוד גזרו תענית על שאכלו זאבים כו' אמר עולא משום ר' שמעון בן יהוצדק מעשה ובלעו זאבים שני תינוקות והקיאום דרך בית הרעי ובא מעשה לפני חכמים וטיהרו את הבשר וטמאו את העצמות:
When he was dying Jeremiah observed that his lips were moving and he feared that perhaps, Heaven forfend,[Josiah] was saying something improper because of his great pain; he thereupon bent down and he overheard him justifying [God's] decree against himself saying, The Lord is righteous; for I have rebelled against His word.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lam. I, 18.');"><sup>5</sup></span> He [Jeremiah] then cited of him, The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. IV, 20.');"><sup>6</sup></span>

101Babli 22b. They asked Rebbi Eliezer, when may one pray for the rains to stop? He told them, if a person stands on top of the Ophel and with his hands102In the Babli: his feet. makes noise in the Kidron brook. But we trust the merciful Father that He will not bring a deluge over the world. What is the reason? This is to Me like the waters of Noe; as I swore not to bring Noe’s waters another time over the earth103Is. 54:9.
