Isaiah 40:5-8
New International Version
5 And the glory(A) of the Lord will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.(B)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”(C)
6 A voice says, “Cry out.”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All people are like grass,(D)
and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
7 The grass withers(E) and the flowers fall,
because the breath(F) of the Lord blows(G) on them.
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the flowers(H) fall,
but the word(I) of our God endures(J) forever.(K)”
Isaiah 40:5-8
King James Version
5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
