Isaiah 40:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷Grass withers and flowers fade
    when the Lord sends the wind blowing over them.
    People are no more enduring than grass.
⁸Yes, grass withers and flowers fade,
    but the word of our God endures forever.”

⁹Jerusalem, go up on a high mountain
    and proclaim the good news!
Call out with a loud voice, Zion;
    announce the good news!^[a]
Speak out and do not be afraid.
Tell the towns of Judah
    that their God is coming!
