Isaiah 40:8-11

English Standard Version

^8 (A)The grass withers, the flower fades,
    but the word of our God will stand forever.

⁹ Go on up to a high mountain,
    O Zion, ^(B)herald of good news;^[a]
lift up your voice with strength,
    O Jerusalem, herald of good news;^[b]
    lift it up, fear not;
say to the cities of Judah,
    “Behold your God!”
^10 (C)Behold, the Lord God comes with might,
    and his arm rules for him;
^(D)behold, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense before him.
^11 (E)He will tend his flock like a shepherd;
    ^(F)he will gather the lambs in his arms;
^(G)he will carry them in his bosom,
    and gently lead those that are with young.
