For , as come down doth the shower, And the snow from the heavens, And thither returneth not , But hath watered the earth, And hath caused it to yield, and to spring up , And hath given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater ,
For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout , and providing seed to sow and food to eat ,
So is My word that goeth out of My mouth , It turneth not back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired , And prosperously effected that `for' which I sent it.
so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please , and it will prosper where I send it.
For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in , The mountains and the hills Break forth before you `with' singing , And all trees of the field clap the hand .
You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands .
Instead of the thorn come up doth fir , Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle , And it hath been to Jehovah for a name , For a sign age-during -- it is not cut off!
Instead of the thornbush , a cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign , never to be destroyed.”
