Isaiah 40:6-8

6A voice says, “Cry out!” Another asks, “What should I cry out?” The first voice responds: “All people are like grass, and all their promises are like the flowers in the field.

7The grass dries up, the flowers wither, when the wind sent by the Lord blows on them. Surely humanity is like grass.

8The grass dries up, the flowers wither, but the decree of our God is forever reliable.”
