Without money and without price.

It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills

And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the LORD for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
