Isaiah 55:10
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.

9 As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”[a]
10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity[b] in you.
11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.

making it rich and fertile.

melting the clods and leveling the ridges.
You soften the earth with showers
and bless its abundant crops.

even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.

and the valleys are carpeted with grain.
They all shout and sing for joy!
