Isaiah 40:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ The grass ·dies [withers] and the flowers fall
    when the breath of the Lord blows on them.
    Surely the people are like grass.
⁸ The grass ·dies [withers] and the flowers fall,
    but the word of our God will ·live [endure; stand] forever.”
⁹ ·Jerusalem [^LZion], ·you have good news to tell [herald of good news].
    Go up on a high mountain.
Jerusalem, ·you have good news to tell [herald of good news].
    Shout out loud the good news.
Shout it out and don’t be afraid.
    Say to the towns of Judah,
    “Here is your God.”
