10 *[Ps. 148:8] "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven

and do not return there but water the earth,

making it bring forth and sprout,

*[2 Cor. 9:10]giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;

it shall not return to me empty,

but *ch. 40:8it shall accomplish that which I purpose,

and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
