Isaiah 55:10-11
New American Standard Bible
10 For as the (A)rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it produce and sprout,
And providing (B)seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My (C)word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will (D)not return to Me empty,
Without (E)accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11
English Standard Version
10 (A)“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
(B)giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but (C)it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11
Contemporary English Version
10 (A) “Rain and snow fall from the sky.
But they don't return
without watering the earth
that produces seeds to plant
and grain to eat.
11 That's how it is with my words.
They don't return to me
without doing everything
I send them to do.”
Isaiah 55:10-11
New Living Translation
10 “The rain and snow come down from the heavens
and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry.
11 It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
