10 For as 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 so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
    it shall not return to Me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
    and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 For you shall go out with joy,
    and be led out with peace;
the mountains and the hills
    shall break forth into singing before you,
and all the trees of the field
    shall clap their hands.

    It will not return to me empty,(F)
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose(G) for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy(H)
    and be led forth in peace;(I)
the mountains and hills
    will burst into song(J) before you,
and all the trees(K) of the field
    will clap their hands.(L)
