without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,(D)
so that it yields seed(E) for the sower and bread for the eater,(F)
11 so is my word(G) that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,(H)
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose(I) for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy(J)
and be led forth in peace;(K)
the mountains and hills
will burst into song(L) before you,
and all the trees(M) of the field
will clap their hands.(N)

and instead of briers(O) the myrtle(P) will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,(Q)
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever.”
