Isaiah 40:6-8

English Standard Version

The Word of God Stands Forever

⁶A 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.
⁷The 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.
