Isaiah 40:6-8
International Standard Version
The Word of God Endures Forever
6 A voice says, “Cry out!”
So I[a] asked, “What am I to cry out?”
“All humanity is grass,
and all its loyalty[b] is like the flowers of the field.
7 Grass withers and flowers fade away
when the Lord’s breath blows on them;
surely the people are like grass.[c]
8 Grass withers and flowers fade away,
when the Lord’s breath blows on them,
but the word of[d] our God will stand forever.”
