Isaiah 55:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ That's how it is with my words.
    They don't return to me
without doing everything
    I send them to do.”

¹² When you are set free,
you will celebrate
    and travel home in peace.
Mountains and hills will sing
as you pass by,
    and trees will clap.
¹³ Cypress and myrtle trees
will grow in fields
    once covered by thorns.
And then those trees will stand
as a lasting witness
    to the glory of the Lord.
