Isaiah 40:7-9

New International Version

⁷ The grass withers^(A) and the flowers fall,
    because the breath^(B) of the Lord blows^(C) on them.
    Surely the people are grass.
⁸ The grass withers and the flowers^(D) fall,
    but the word^(E) of our God endures^(F) forever.^(G)”

⁹ You who bring good news^(H) to Zion,
    go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good news to Jerusalem,^[a](I)
    lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
    say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”^(J)
