Isaiah 40:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

and all people shall see it together,
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’

⁶A voice says, ‘Cry out!’
    And I said, ‘What shall I cry?’

⁷The grass withers, the flower fades,
    when the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
    surely the people are grass.
