Isaiah 55:10-13
World English Bible
10 For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky,
and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth,
and makes it grow and bud,
and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 so is my word that goes out of my mouth:
it will not return to me void,
but it will accomplish that which I please,
and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
12 For you shall go out with joy,
and be led out with peace.
The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing;
and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up;
and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up.
It will make a name for Yahweh,
for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
Isaiah 55:10-13
New American Standard Bible
10 For as the (A)rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it produce and sprout,
And providing (B)seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My (C)word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will (D)not return to Me empty,
Without (E)accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.
12 For you will go out with (F)joy
And be led in (G)peace;
The (H)mountains and the hills will break into shouts of joy before you,
And all the (I)trees of the field will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the (J)thorn bush, the (K)juniper will come up,
And instead of the (L)stinging nettle, the myrtle will come up;
And [a]it will be a [b](M)memorial to the Lord,
An everlasting (N)sign which (O)will not be eliminated.”
