Isaiah 40:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ The grass withers and the flowers fade
    beneath the breath of the Lord.
    And so it is with people.
⁸ The grass withers and the flowers fade,
    but the word of our God stands forever.”

⁹ O Zion, messenger of good news,
    shout from the mountaintops!
Shout it louder, O Jerusalem.^[a]
    Shout, and do not be afraid.
Tell the towns of Judah,
    “Your God is coming!”
