Lexicon :: Strong's H6779 - ṣāmaḥ

“Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;

And you shall eat the plants of the field.

“Truly is not my house so [blessed] with God?

For He has made an everlasting covenant with me,

Ordered in all things, and secured.

For will He not cause to grow and prosper

All my salvation and my every wish?

Will He not make it grow and prosper?

“For affliction does not come forth from the dust,

Nor does trouble spring forth from the ground.

“Behold, this is the joy of His way;

And from out of the dust others will spring up and grow [to take his place].

To satisfy the barren and desolate ground

And to make the seeds of grass to sprout?

Truth springs from the earth,

And righteousness looks down from heaven.

He causes grass to grow for the cattle,

And all that the earth produces for cultivation by man,

So that he may bring food from the earth—

“There I will make the horn (strength) of David grow;

I have prepared a lamp for My anointed [fulfilling the promises].

Who covers the heavens with clouds,

Who provides rain for the earth,

Who makes grass grow on the mountains.

“Indeed, the former things have come to pass,

Now I declare new things;

Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”

“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing,

Now it will spring forth;

Will you not be aware of it?

I will even put a road in the wilderness,

Rivers in the desert.

And they will spring up among the grass

Like willows by the streams of water.’

“Rain down, O heavens, from above,

Let the clouds pour down righteousness [all the blessings of God];

Let the earth open up, let salvation bear fruit,

And righteousness spring up with it;

I, the LORD, have created it.

“For as the rain and snow come down from heaven,

And do not return there without watering the earth,

Making it bear and sprout,

And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

“Then your light will break out like the dawn,

And your healing (restoration, new life) will quickly spring forth;

Your righteousness will go before you [leading you to peace and prosperity],

The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,

And as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,

So the Lord GOD will [most certainly] cause righteousness and justice and praise

To spring up before all the nations [through the power of His word].

“In that day I will make a horn sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth among them, and they will know [without any doubt] that I am the LORD [when I renew their strength].”
