9 “Fora as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For aas 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,
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 aSo shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me1 void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall bprosper in the thing for which I sent it.
It shall not return to Me1 void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall bprosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 “Fora you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall bbreak forth into singing before you,
And call the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall bbreak forth into singing before you,
And call the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 aInstead of bthe thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord cfor a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord cfor a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
