Isaiah 55:12
Compare all
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, 
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. 
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. 
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.”

Isaiah 55:12

The mountains and the hills - These are highly poetical images to express a happy state attended with joy and exultation.

Ipsi laetitia voces AD sidera jactant

Intonsi montes: ipsae jam carmina rupes,

Ipsa sonant arbusta .

Virg. Ecl. 5:61.

"The mountain tops unshorn, the rocks rejoice;

The lowly shrubs partake of human voice."

Dryden.
