Isaiah 55:9-11
Names of God Bible
9 “Just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways,
and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.”
10 “Rain and snow come down from the sky.
They do not go back again until they water the earth.
They make it sprout and grow
so that it produces seed for farmers
and food for people to eat.
11 My word, which comes from my mouth, is like the rain and snow.
It will not come back to me without results.
It will accomplish whatever I want
and achieve whatever I send it to do.”
Isaiah 55:9-11
New International Version
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,(A)
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.(B)
10 As the rain(C) and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,(D)
so that it yields seed(E) for the sower and bread for the eater,(F)
11 so is my word(G) that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,(H)
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose(I) for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:9-11
King James Version
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 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:
11 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.
