So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
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,
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.
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 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 55:10 | Isaiah 55:12 >> |
