⁶ The voice said, “Cry out!”
And ^[a]he said, “What shall I cry?”

^(A)“All flesh is grass,
And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
⁷ The grass withers, the flower fades,
Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
⁸ The grass withers, the flower fades,
But ^(B)the word of our God stands forever.”
