¹⁰ As the rain^(A) and the snow
    come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
    without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,^(B)
    so that it yields seed^(C) for the sower and bread for the eater,^(D)

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 achieve the purpose^(C) for which I sent it.
