Isaiah 55:10 Context
8¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, saith the Lord. 9For as the heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughts then your thouhts. 10For as the raine commeth down, and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring foorth and bud, that it may giue seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11So shall my word bee that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12For ye shall goe out with ioy, and bee led foorth with peace: the mountaines and the hilles shall breake forth before you into singing, and al the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
