Isaiah 40:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ 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.
⁷ The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground.
    That happens when the Lord makes his wind blow on them.
    So people are just like grass.
⁸ The grass dries up. The flowers fall to the ground.
    But what our God says will stand forever.’ ”
