Isaiah 40:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ The grass dries up
    and the flower withers
    when the Lord’s breath blows on it.
    Surely the people are grass.
⁸ The grass dries up;
    the flower withers,
    but our God’s word will exist forever.

⁹ Go up on a high mountain,
    messenger Zion!
Raise your voice and shout,
    messenger Jerusalem!
Raise it; don’t be afraid;
    say to the cities of Judah,
    “Here is your God!”
