10 Et quomodo descendit imber et nix de caelo
et illuc ultra non revertitur,
sed inebriat terram et infundit eam
et germinare eam facit
et dat semen serenti et panem comedenti,
11 sic erit verbum meum, quod egredietur de ore meo:
non revertetur ad me vacuum,
sed faciet, quaecumque volui,
et prosperabitur in his, ad quae misi illud.

10* "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and return not thither but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

(Isaias 55:10-11)
