Isaiah 55:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
10 Surely as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither but watereth the earth, and maketh it to bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread unto him that eateth,
11 So shall my [a]word be, that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I will, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isaiah 55:9-11
New International Version
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,(A)
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.(B)
10 As the rain(C) and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,(D)
so that it yields seed(E) for the sower and bread for the eater,(F)
11 so is my word(G) that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,(H)
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose(I) for which I sent it.
