Isaiah 55:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹In the same way, my words leave my mouth,
and they don’t come back without results.
My words make the things happen that I want to happen.
They succeed in doing what I send them to do.

¹²“So you will go out from there with joy.
    You will be led out in peace.
When you come to the mountains and hills, they will begin singing.
    All the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
¹³Large cypress trees will grow where there were thornbushes.
    Myrtle trees will grow where there were weeds.
All this will happen to make the Lord known,
    to be a permanent reminder of his goodness and power.”
