Isaiah 55:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ Just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts higher than your thoughts [Ps. 103:11].
¹⁰ Rain and snow fall from the sky
    and don’t return without watering the ground.
They cause the plants to sprout and grow,
    making seeds for the ·farmer [sower]
    and bread for the ·people [^Leater].
¹¹ The same thing is true of the words ·I speak [^Lthat go out of my mouth].
    They will not return to me empty.
They ·make the things happen that I want to happen [accomplish what I desire/purpose],
    and they succeed in doing what I send them to do.
