Isaiah 55:8-13

8For my thoughtsH4284 are not your thoughtsH4284, neither are your waysH1870 my waysH1870, saith Jehovah. 9For as the heavensH8064 are higherH1361 than the earthH776, soH3651 are my waysH1870 higherH1361 than your waysH1870, and my thoughtsH4284 than your thoughtsH4284. 10For as the rainH1653 cometh downH3381 and the snowH7950 from heavenH8064, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earthH776, and maketh it bringH7725 forthH3205 and bud, and giveth seedH2233 to the sowerH2232 and breadH3899 to the eater; 11soH3651 shall my wordH1697 beH1961 that goeth forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310: it shall not returnH7725 unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosperH6743 in the thingH1697 whereto I sentH7971 it. 12For ye shall goH3318 out with joyH8057, and be led forthH3318 with peaceH7965: the mountainsH2022 and the hillsH1389 shall breakH6476 forthH3318 before you into singing; and all the treesH6086 of the fieldsH7704 shall clapH4222 their handsH3709. 13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree: and it shall beH1961 to Jehovah for a nameH8034, for an everlasting signH226 that shall not beH1961 cutH3772 off.
