Isaiah 40:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ A voice says, “Cry out!”
    Then I said, “What shall I cry out?”

“Say all people are like the grass,
    and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
⁷ The grass dies and the flowers fall
    when the breath of the Lord blows on them.
    Surely the people are like grass.
⁸ The grass dies and the flowers fall,
    but the word of our God will live forever.”
