Psalm 102:25-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
25 Long ago You established the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.(A)
26 They will perish, but You will endure;
all of them will wear out like clothing.
You will change them like a garment,
and they will pass away.(B)
27 But You are the same,
and Your years will never end.(C)
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)
