Isaiah 40:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶ A voice says, “Proclaim!”
And I answer, “What should I proclaim?”
“All humanity is merely grass,
all its kindness like wildflowers:
⁷ the grass dries up, the flower fades,
when a wind from Adonai blows on it.
Surely the people are grass!
⁸ The grass dries up, the flower fades;
but the word of our God will stand forever.”
