and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; |
|

So will My word be which goes forth from My
mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And
without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. |

with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before
you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands. |
