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.”
