¹⁰ For as the rain comes down,
    and the snow from heaven,
and do not return there
    but water the earth
and make it bring forth and bud
    that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
¹¹ so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
    it shall not return to Me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
    and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
¹² For you shall go out with joy,
    and be led out with peace;
the mountains and the hills
    shall break forth into singing before you,
and all the trees of the field
    shall clap their hands.
¹³ Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree,
    and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
and it shall be to the Lord for a memorial,
    for an everlasting sign
    that shall not be cut off.
