Isaiah 40:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the [a]Spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the [b]word of our God shall stand forever.
9 ¶ O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high [c]mountain: O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength: lift it up, be not afraid: say unto the cities of Judah, Behold [d]your God.
