For just as from the heavens

the rain  and snow come down

And do not return there till they have watered the earth,

making it fertile and fruitful,

Giving seed to him who sows and bread to him who eats,

So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;

It shall not return to me void, but shall do my will,

achieving the end for which I sent it.

The words of the Prophet Isaiah 55:10-11
