Isaiah 40:6-8

6A voice is saying, ‘Shout!’ But I say, ‘What should I shout?’ ‘Shout that all people are like grass. Their promises are like the flowers in a field.

7Grass quickly dies, and flowers fall to the ground. The Lord causes this to happen, when he sends a wind to blow on them. It is true. People are like grass.

8Grass quickly dies, and flowers fall to the ground. But God's promise will be true for ever.’
