A voice says, “Call out.”
Then [a]he answered, “What shall I call out?”
(A)All flesh is grass, and all its [b]loveliness is like the flower of the field.
The (B)grass withers, the flower fades,
[c]When the (C)breath of the Lord blows upon it;
The people are indeed grass!
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But (D)the word of our God stands forever.
