Isaiah 40:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 A voice was saying, “Cry out!”
Another[a] said, “What should I cry out?”
“All humanity is grass,(A)
and all its goodness is like the flower of the field.(B)
7 The grass withers, the flowers fade
when the breath[b] of the Lord blows on them;[c]
indeed, the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flowers fade,(C)
but the word of our God remains forever.”(D)

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

In the same way, the rich man will wither away while pursuing his activities.(B)
