ECB(i)
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth thus are my ways higher than your ways - and my fabrications than your fabrications.
10 For as the downpour and the snow descend from the heavens, and returns not - but saturates the earth and births and sprouts - to give seed to the seeder and bread to the eater:
11 thus becomes my word that comes from my mouth: it returns not to me void but works what I desire; and it prospers whereto I send it.
12 For you go forth with cheerfulness and lead forth with shalom: the mountains and the hills break forth into shouting at your face; and all the trees of the field clap their palms.
13 Instead of the thorn, the fir tree ascends, and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree ascends: and it becomes to Yah Veh for a name, for an eternal sign, not cut off.
