So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
In the same way, my word that goes out from my mouth will not return to me empty-handed. It will accomplish what I want it to do and will succeed in the purpose for which I sent it.
God is promising that His word always accomplishes exactly what He intends it to do - it never fails or comes back empty.
