Isaiah 40:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ At the Lord's command,
flowers and grass disappear,
    and so do we.
⁸ Flowers and grass fade away,
but what our God has said
    will never change.

⁹ There is good news
    for the city of Zion.
Shout it as loud as you can^[a]
    from the highest mountain.
Don't be afraid to shout
to the towns of Judah:
    “Your God is here!”
