“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:”
Isaiah 55:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 55:10
This verse introduces a nature-based analogy explaining how God's word accomplishes His purposes. Rain and snow descend from heaven, water the earth, and enable it to 'bring forth and bud'—producing life, growth, and harvest. This natural process provides seed for planting and bread for eating—continuing the cycle. The precipitation doesn't return to heaven void or empty (reyqam) but accomplishes (asah) its designed purpose of sustaining life. This sets up verse 11's application: just as precipitation reliably fulfills its function, so God's word unfailingly achieves His intentions.
