Isaiah 55:8-11

The Voice

Eternal One: ⁸ My intentions are not always yours,
        and I do not go about things as you do.
⁹     My thoughts and My ways are above and beyond you,
        just as heaven is far from your reach here on earth.
¹⁰     For as rain and snow can’t go back once they’ve fallen,
        but soak into the ground
    And nourish the plants that grow,
        providing seed to the farmer and bread for the hungry,
¹¹     So it is when I declare something.
        My word will go out and not return to Me empty,
    But it will do what I wanted;
        it will accomplish what I determined.
