English Standard Version
The Word of God Stands Forever
6 A voice says, “Cry!”
And I said,[a] “What shall I cry?”
(A)All flesh is grass,
and all its beauty[b] is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
8 (B)The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
