Isaiah 40:6-8

Good News Translation

^6 (A)A voice cries out, “Proclaim a message!”
“What message shall I proclaim?” I ask.
“Proclaim that all human beings are like grass;
    they last no longer than wild flowers.
⁷ Grass withers and flowers fade
    when the Lord sends the wind blowing over them.
    People are no more enduring than grass.
⁸ Yes, grass withers and flowers fade,
    but the word of our God endures forever.”
