11 The words I speak are like that.
    They will not return to me without producing results.
They will accomplish what I want them to.
    They will do exactly what I sent them to do.

12 “My people, you will go out of Babylon with joy.
    You will be led out of it in peace.
The mountains and hills
    will burst into song as you go.
And all the trees in the fields
    will clap their hands.
13 Juniper trees will grow where there used to be bushes that had thorns on them.
    And myrtle trees will grow where there used to be thorns.
That will bring me great fame.
    It will be a lasting reminder of what I can do.
    It will stand forever.”

11 so is my word(A) that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,(B)
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose(C) for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy(D)
    and be led forth in peace;(E)
the mountains and hills
    will burst into song(F) before you,
and all the trees(G) of the field
    will clap their hands.(H)
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers(I) the myrtle(J) will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,(K)
    for an everlasting sign,
    that will endure forever.”
