Isa 55:9For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.

Isa 55:10

Isa 55:11

Isa 55:11So is My word that goeth out of My mouth, It turneth not back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that for which I sent it.

Isa 55:12

Isa 55:12For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you with singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.

Isa 55:13

Isa 55:13Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a name, For a sign age-during -- it is not cut off!
