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
English Standard Version
10 (A)“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven
and do not return there but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
(B)giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but (C)it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
12 (D)“For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
(E)the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (F)Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the Lord,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
