Isaiah 55:10-13
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.
12 For you will go out with (F)joy
And be led in (G)peace;
The (H)mountains and the hills will break into shouts of joy before you,
And all the (I)trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the (J)thorn bush, the (K)juniper will come up,
And instead of the (L)stinging nettle, the myrtle will come up;
And [a]it will be a [b](M)memorial to the Lord,
An everlasting (N)sign which (O)will not be eliminated.”

Isaiah 55:10-13
Christian Standard Bible
10 For just as rain and snow fall from heaven
and do not return there
without saturating the earth
and making it germinate and sprout,
and providing seed to sow
and food to eat,(A)
11 so my word that comes from my mouth
will not return to me empty,
but it will accomplish what I please
and will prosper in what I send it to do.”(B)
12 You will indeed go out with joy
and be peacefully guided;
the mountains and the hills will break into singing before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.(C)
13 Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will come up,
and instead of the brier, a myrtle will come up;(D)
this will stand as a monument for the Lord,(E)
an everlasting sign that will not be destroyed.
Isaiah 55:10-13
New International Version
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(E) that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,(F)
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose(G) for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy(H)
and be led forth in peace;(I)
the mountains and hills
will burst into song(J) before you,
and all the trees(K) of the field
will clap their hands.(L)
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
and instead of briers(M) the myrtle(N) will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,(O)
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever.”
