Isaiah 55:11-13
New King James Version
11 (A)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [a]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (B)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 “For(C) you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall (D)break forth into singing before you,
And (E)all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (F)Instead of (G)the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord (H)for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

11 So will My (A)word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will (B)not return to Me empty,
Without (C)accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.
12 For you will go out with (D)joy
And be led in (E)peace;
The (F)mountains and the hills will break into shouts of joy before you,
And all the (G)trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the (H)thorn bush, the (I)juniper will come up,
And instead of the (J)stinging nettle, the myrtle will come up;
And [a]it will be a [b](K)memorial to the Lord,
An everlasting (L)sign which (M)will not be eliminated.”
