11 (A)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [a]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (B)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

12 “For(C) you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall (D)break forth into singing before you,
And (E)all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (F)Instead of (G)the 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 (H)for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

  1. Isaiah 55:11 empty, without fruit

11 so is my word(A) that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,(B)
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose(C) for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy(D)
    and be led forth in peace;(E)
the mountains and hills
    will burst into song(F) before you,
and all the trees(G) of the field
    will clap their hands.(H)
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers(I) the myrtle(J) will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,(K)
    for an everlasting sign,
    that will endure forever.”
