Isaiah 40:5-8

Common English Bible

⁵ The Lord’s glory will appear,
    and all humanity will see it together;
    the Lord’s mouth has commanded it.”

⁶ A voice was saying:
    “Call out!”
And another^[a] said,
    “What should I call out?”
All flesh is grass;
    all its loyalty is like the flowers of the field.
⁷ The grass dries up
    and the flower withers
    when the Lord’s breath blows on it.
    Surely the people are grass.
⁸ The grass dries up;
    the flower withers,
    but our God’s word will exist forever.
