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,

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.
