The soil makes the young plant come up. A garden causes seeds to grow. In the same way, the Lord and King will make godliness grow. And all the nations will praise him.”

田地怎样使百谷发芽，园子怎样使所种的发生，主耶和华必照样使公义和赞美在万民中发出。

地怎样使芽长出，园子怎样使所栽种的生长，主耶和华也必照样使公义和赞美在万国中发出。

地怎样使芽长出，园子怎样使所栽种的生长，主耶和华也必照样使公义和赞美在万国中发出。

地怎样发生苗芽，园子怎样使所种的生长起来，主耶和华也必怎样使公义和赞美，在万国之前生长出来。

大地怎样使幼苗长出，园林怎样使所种下的发芽，照样，主耶和华也必使公义和赞美在万国面前发出。

田地怎樣使百穀發芽，園子怎樣使所種的發生，主耶和華必照樣使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。

地怎樣使芽長出，園子怎樣使所栽種的生長，主耶和華也必照樣使公義和讚美在萬國中發出。

地怎樣使芽長出，園子怎樣使所栽種的生長，主耶和華也必照樣使公義和讚美在萬國中發出。

地怎樣發生苗芽，園子怎樣使所種的生長起來，主耶和華也必怎樣使公義和讚美，在萬國之前生長出來。

因為地怎樣發出所生的，而園子怎樣使所種的發生起來，主永恆主也怎樣使義氣和可頌可讚的事發生於列國之前。

大地怎樣使幼苗長出，園林怎樣使所種下的發芽，照樣，主耶和華也必使公義和讚美在萬國面前發出。

譬諸土壤、百卉滋生、園囿之內、所種萌芽、主耶和華亦必使公義頌揚、發生於列國、

譬諸土壤萌芽、園囿甲坼、主耶和華必使仁義萌芽、列國頌揚之亦若是。

主天主在萬民前、使福祉福祉或作善義榮耀、萌生暢達、如地產百卉、如園萌菜蔬、

For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.

The rain and the snow come down from the sky. They do not return to it without watering the earth. They make plants come up and grow. The plants produce seeds for farmers. They also produce food for people to eat.The words I speak are like that. They will not return to me without producing results. They will accomplish what I want them to. They will do exactly what I sent them to do.

Jesus also said,“ Here is what God’s kingdom is like. A farmer scatters seed on the ground.Night and day the seed comes up and grows. It happens whether the farmer sleeps or gets up. He doesn’t know how it happens.All by itself the soil produces grain. First the stalk comes up. Then the head appears. Finally, the full grain appears in the head.Before long the grain ripens. So the farmer cuts it down, because the harvest is ready.”Again Jesus said,“ What can we say God’s kingdom is like? What story can we use to explain it?It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth.But when you plant the seed, it grows. It becomes the largest of all garden plants. Its branches are so big that birds can rest in its shade.”

His truth springs up from the earth. His holiness looks down from heaven.

I will always guide you. I will satisfy your needs in a land baked by the sun. I will make you stronger. You will be like a garden that has plenty of water. You will be like a spring whose water never runs dry.

“ Wake up, north wind! Come, south wind! Blow on my garden. Then its sweet smell will spread everywhere. Let my love come into his garden. Let him taste its fine fruits.”“ My bride, I have come into my garden. My sister, I’ve gathered my myrrh and my spice. I’ve eaten my honeycomb and my honey. I’ve drunk my wine and my milk.”“ Friends, eat and drink. Drink up all the love you want.”

“‘ Rain down my godliness, you heavens above. Let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide to receive it. Let freedom spring to life. Let godliness grow richly along with it. I have created all these things. I am the Lord.’ ”

The Lord says,“ For the good of Zion I will not keep silent. For Jerusalem’s benefit I will not remain quiet. I will not keep silent until what I will do for them shines like the sunrise. I will not remain quiet until they are saved and shine like a blazing torch.

May there be plenty of grain everywhere in the land. May it sway in the wind on the tops of the hills. May the crops grow well, like those in Lebanon. May they grow like the grass of the field.

But the seed that fell on good soil is like those who hear the message and understand it. They produce a crop 100, 60 or 30 times more than the farmer planted.”

But God chose you to be his people. You are royal priests. You are a holy nation. You are God’s special treasure. You are all these things so that you can give him praise. God brought you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Then he told them many things using stories. He said,“ A farmer went out to plant his seed.

And don’t give him any rest until he makes Jerusalem secure. Don’t give him any peace until people all over the earth praise that city.

May the mountains and the hills produce rich crops, because the people will do what is right.

Still other seed fell on good soil. It produced a crop 100, 60 or 30 times more than what was planted.
