I would like to add to the truth of what Sacha has shared and take it from verse 10.
Isaiah 55:10-13. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that ( it may give SEED to the sower, and BREAD TO THE EATER:)
SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
INSTEAD OF THE THORN SHALL COME UP THE FIR TREE, and INSTEAD OF THE BRIER SHALL COME UP THE MYRTLE TREE: and it shall be to the LORD for a name,( FOR AN EVERLASTING SIGN THAT SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF. )
Here you have an prominence on the word of God, Salvation is a revelation of God and the word of God is like rain that comes down from heaven, We should bud in response to the word and the Holyspirit in the same way the Earth responds to rain.
God's WORD WILL PROSPER AND ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH HE PLEASE!
Providing his word TRULY abides in us.
Remember the parable of the sower?
We also see the concept here in
1 Corinthians 3:6. I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
The bread reminds me of Jesus saying I am that bread which came down from heaven.
John 6:33. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
These passages is also why I believe Romans 6 references fruit barring rather than lost Salvation.
Hebrews 6:7-8 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Hi Robin , if you have already read Genesis you will know that because of Adams sin in eating the apple ,God cursed the ground so that it brought forth all kinds of weeds that make growing crops very hard physical work . So in v13 God is saying that the old curse of weeds which is a reminder of our sinfullness ,shall be done away with . The earth will be healed the same as we will be . There will be no reminders of our sinfulness in the earth . I hope I've explained that ok for you . Isaiah is my favourite Old Testament book . It's full of treasure , enjoy .

Wonderful passage.
God bless.
