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

and be led forth in peace;
dthe mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the Lord,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
