Isaiah 40:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ The grass dies and the flowers fall,
    but the word of our God will live forever.”
⁹ Jerusalem, you have good news to tell.
    Go up on a high mountain.
Jerusalem, you have good news to tell.
    Shout out loud the good news.
Shout it out and don’t be afraid.
    Say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God.”
¹⁰ Look, the Lord God is coming with power
    to rule all the people.
Look, he will bring reward for his people;
    he will have their payment with him.
