Isaiah 40:5-8 Good News Bible (GNB)

5. Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed,and the whole human race will see it.The Lord himself has promised this.”

6. A voice cries out, “Proclaim a message!”“What message shall I proclaim?” I ask.“Proclaim that all human beings are like grass;they last no longer than wild flowers.

7. Grass withers and flowers fade,when the Lord sends the wind blowing over them.People are no more enduring than grass.

8. Yes, grass withers and flowers fade,but the word of our God endures for ever.”
