Isaiah 40:8-10
New King James Version
8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
But (A)the word of our God stands forever.”
9 O Zion,
You who bring good tidings,
Get up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem,
You who bring good tidings,
Lift up your voice with strength,
Lift it up, be not afraid;
Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
10 Behold, the Lord God shall come [a]with a strong hand,
And (B)His arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, (C)His reward is with Him,
And His [b]work before Him.
