11 so is my word(A) that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,(B)
but will accomplish what I desire

and be led forth in peace;(E)
the mountains and hills
will burst into song(F) before you,
and all the trees(G) of the field
will clap their hands.(H)

This will be for the Lord’s renown,(K)
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever.”
