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.”

but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose(G) for which I sent it.
