Isaiah 55:10-12

Good News Translation

^10 (A)“My word is like the snow and the rain
    that come down from the sky to water the earth.
They make the crops grow
    and provide seed for planting and food to eat.
¹¹ So also will be the word that I speak—
    it will not fail to do what I plan for it;
    it will do everything I send it to do.

¹² “You will leave Babylon with joy;
    you will be led out of the city in peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into singing,
    and the trees will shout for joy.
