55:10 雨雪从天而降，并不返回，
却滋润地土，使地上发芽结实，
使撒种的有种，使要吃的有粮。
55:11 我口所出的话也必如此，
决不徒然返回，
却要成就我所喜悦的，
在我发它去成就（注：“发它去成就”或作“所命定的”）事上必然亨通。
55:12 你们必欢欢喜喜而出来，
平平安安蒙引导；
大山小山必在你们面前发声歌唱，
田野的树木也都拍掌。
55:13 松树长出，代替荆棘，
番石榴长出，代替蒺藜。
这要为耶和华留名，
作为永远的证据，不能剪除。”
10As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
13Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord ‘s renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed.”
