Isaiah 55:8-11
New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 55:8-11
New American Standard Bible
8 “For My thoughts are not (A)your thoughts,
Nor are (B)your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “For (C)as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the (D)rain and the snow come down from heaven,
And do not return there without watering the earth
And making it produce and sprout,
And providing (E)seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 So will My (F)word be which goes out of My mouth;
It will (G)not return to Me empty,
Without (H)accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the purpose for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:8-11
New International Version
8 “For my thoughts(A) are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”(B)
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,(C)
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.(D)
10 As the rain(E) and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,(F)
so that it yields seed(G) for the sower and bread for the eater,(H)
11 so is my word(I) that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,(J)
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose(K) for which I sent it.
