The Lord’s glory will appear,
    and all humanity will see it together;
    the Lord’s mouth has commanded it.”

A voice was saying:
    “Call out!”
And another[a] said,
    “What should I call out?”
All flesh is grass;
    all its loyalty is like the flowers of the field.
The grass dries up
    and the flower withers
    when the Lord’s breath blows on it.
    Surely the people are grass.

“All people are like grass,(D)
    and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers(E) and the flowers fall,
    because the breath(F) of the Lord blows(G) on them.
    Surely the people are grass.
