Another messenger says, “Cry out.”
    And I said, “What should I cry?”

“Cry out, ‘All people are like grass.
    They don’t stay faithful to me any longer than wildflowers last.
The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground.

    So people are just like grass.
The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground.
    But what our God says will stand forever.’ ”
