Isaiah 40:7-9

Revised Standard Version

⁷The grass withers, the flower fades,
    when the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
    surely the people is grass.
⁸The grass withers, the flower fades;
    but the word of our God will stand for ever.

⁹Get you up to a high mountain,
    O Zion, herald of good tidings;^[a]
lift up your voice with strength,
    O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings,^[b]
    lift it up, fear not;
say to the cities of Judah,
    “Behold your God!”
