Isaiah 40:3-8
Christian Standard Bible
3 A voice of one crying out:
Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness;(A)
make a straight highway for our God in the desert.(B)
4 Every valley will be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill will be leveled;
the uneven ground will become smooth
and the rough places, a plain.(C)
5 And the glory of the Lord will appear,(D)
and all humanity[a] together will see it,(E)
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(F)
6 A voice was saying, “Cry out!”
Another said,[b] “What should I cry out?”
“All humanity is grass,(G)
and all its goodness is like the flower of the field.(H)
7 The grass withers, the flowers fade
when the breath[c] of the Lord blows on them;[d]
indeed, the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flowers fade,(I)
but the word of our God remains forever.”(J)
