11 My word, which comes from my mouth, is like the rain and snow.
    It will not come back to me without results.
    It will accomplish whatever I want
        and achieve whatever I send it to do.”

12 You will go out with joy and be led out in peace.
    The mountains and the hills
        will break into songs of joy in your presence,
            and all the trees will clap their hands.
13 Cypress trees will grow where thornbushes grew.
    Myrtle trees will grow where briars grew.
    This will be a reminder of Yahweh’s name
        and an everlasting sign that will never be destroyed.

11 (A)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [a]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (B)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

12 “For(C) you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall (D)break forth into singing before you,
And (E)all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (F)Instead of (G)the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord (H)for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
