Isaiah 55:13 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

13Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,

and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.

This will be for the Lord’s renown,

for an everlasting sign,

that will endure forever.”

13“Instead of the thorn bush, the juniper will come up,

And instead of the stinging nettle, the myrtle will come up;

And it will be a memorial to the Lord,

An everlasting sign which will not be eliminated.”

13Instead of the thorn bush the cypress will come up,

And instead of the nettle the myrtle will come up,

And it will be a memorial to the Lord,

For an everlasting sign which will not be cut off.”

13“Instead of the thorn bush the cypress tree will grow,

And instead of the nettle the myrtle tree will grow;

And it will be a memorial to the Lord,

For an everlasting sign [of His mercy] which will not be cut off.”

13Instead of the thornbush, the cypress will grow,

and instead of the brier, the myrtle will spring up;

this will make a name for the Lord,

an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”

13Juniper trees will grow where there used to be bushes that had thorns on them.

And myrtle trees will grow where there used to be thorns.

That will bring me great fame.

It will be a lasting reminder of what I can do.

It will stand forever.”
