Isaiah 40:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 A voice says, “Cry out!”
And I said,[a] “What shall I cry?”
All flesh is grass;
their constancy is like the flower of the field.(A)
7 The grass withers; the flower fades,
[[when the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
surely the people are grass.(B)
8 The grass withers; the flower fades,]][b]
but the word of our God will stand forever.(C)
Isaiah 40:6-8
Revised Standard Version
6 A voice says, “Cry!”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
All flesh is grass,
and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades,
when the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand for ever.
