Sorry, my mistake. I meant: "Isaiah 55:11"

It means what it says:
"so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
God does not waste any words. Everything He says will come to pass. Everything He says He will do He will do and nothing can prevent it from happening.

Haha you made me look.

But I'll tell you the meaning of Isaiah 16:2. I suppose that would be an ok replacement... The Moabite women who live by the fords of Arnon will be sent away like a bird from its nest.

Chapter fifty-five of Isaiah is a call to all men, whether they are of the nation of Israel or of the Gentile nations, to receive God’s free gift of salvation (v. 1-6). The Lord assures all men that if they will forsake their way, He will have mercy (v. 7). Subsequently, He relates how His way of life, thoughts, imagination, and purposes are completely different (v. 8-9) from man’s ways and thoughts (מַחְשְׁבֹתָ֑יו, machashabah).1 He continues by describing how His cunning works (see footnote 1), ways, or thoughts are "higher" and exalted above any works, ways, or thoughts of man on earth. His cunning works, which are His words that bring salvation, peace and joy (vv. 3, 12, Rom. 10:17), come down from "heaven" and "returneth not thither" (vv. 10-11); and when His words "goeth forth" they shall "prosper," they shall be "for a name," and they shall be "an everlasting sign

Because the Jews didn't want to listen to what Jehovah God Almighty and except Jesus Christ as the mesiah. Jehovah turned his attention to the nations and so his word would go fourth with reasults and it would come back to him with reasults from the people of the nations...That is the word of truth the bible. Written by some 40 men and women but was inspired by God as if t was right on there tongue. By means of his holy spirit his active force in which he gets things done .

Isaiah

Isaiah (Hebrew Yesh'yahu, i.e., "the salvation of Jehovah") was the son of Amoz, and commonly considered the author of the Book of Isaiah. He was apparently of humble rank (Isa. 1:1; 2:1).
Isaiah was married to a woman called "the prophetess" (8:3), either because she was endowed with the prophetic gift, like Deborah (Judges 4:4) and Huldah (2 Kings 22:14-20), or simply because she was the wife of "the prophet" (Isa. 38:1). He had two sons, who bore symbolic names.

He exercised the functions of his office during the reigns of Uzziah (or Azariah), Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (1:1), the kings of Judah. Uzziah reigned fifty-two years in the middle of the 8th century BCE, and Isaiah must have begun his career a few years before Uzziah's death, probably in the 740s. He lived till the fourteenth year of Hezekiah, and in all likelihood outlived that monarch (who died 698 BCE), and may have been contemporary for some years with Manasseh. Thus Isaiah may have prophesied for the long period of at least sixty-four years.

His first call to the prophetical office is not recorded. A second call came to him "in the year that King Uzziah died" (Isa. 6:1). He exercised his ministry in a spirit of uncompromising firmness and boldness in regard to all that bore on the interests of religion. He conceals nothing and keeps nothing back from fear of man. He was also noted for his spirituality and for his deep-toned reverence toward "the holy One of Israel."

In early youth Isaiah must have been moved by the invasion of Israel by the Assyrian monarch Tiglath-Pileser III (2 Kings 15:19); and again, twenty years later, when he had already entered on his office, by the invasion of Tiglath-Pileser and his career of conquest. Ahaz, king of Judah, at this crisis refused to co-operate with the kings of Israel and Syria in opposition to the Assyrians, and was on that account attacked and defeated by Rezin of Damascus and Pekah of Israel (2 Kings 16:5; 2 Chronicles 28:5, 6). Ahaz, thus humbled, sided with Assyria, and sought the aid of Tiglath-Pileser against Israel and Syria. The consequence was that Rezin and Pekah were conquered and many of the people carried captive to Assyria (2 Kings 15:29; 16:9; 1 Chronicles 5:26).

Soon after this Shalmaneser IV determined wholly to subdue the kingdom of Israel. Samaria was taken and destroyed (722 BC). So long as Ahaz reigned, the kingdom of Judah was unmolested by the Assyrian power; but on his accession to the throne, Hezekiah, who was encouraged by Isaiah to rebel "against the king of Assyria" (2 Kings 18:7), entered into an alliance with the king of Egypt (Isa. 30:2-4). This led the king of Assyria to threaten the king of Judah, and at length to invade the land. Sennacherib (701 BC) led a powerful army into Judah. Hezekiah was reduced to despair, and submitted to the Assyrians (2 Kings 18:14-16). But after a brief interval war broke out again, and again Sennacherib led an army into Judah, one detachment of which threatened Jerusalem (Isa. 36:2-22; 37:8). Isaiah on that occasion encouraged Hezekiah to resist the Assyrians (37:1-7), whereupon Sennacherib sent a threatening letter to Hezekiah, which he "spread before the Lord" (37:14). Accordin to the account in Kings (and its derivative account in Chronicles) the judgement of God now fell on the Assyrian army. "Like Xerxes in Greece, Sennacherib never recovered from the shock of the disaster in Judah. He made no more expeditions against either southern Palestine or Egypt."

The remaining years of Hezekiah's reign were peaceful (2 Chr. 32:23, 27-29). Isaiah probably lived to its close, and possibly into the reign of Manasseh, but the time and manner of his death are not specified in either the Bible or recorded history. There is a tradition that he suffered martyrdom in the pagan reaction in the time of Manasseh. Both Jewish and Christian traditions state that he was killed by being sawed in half. Some interpreters believe that this is what is referred to by Hebrews 11:37 (in the New Testament), which states that some prophets were "sawn in two".
