Isaiah 40:6–8 (ESV)

Man’s Status

6 A voice says, “Cry!”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”

All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is
like the flower of the field.

Man’s Condition

7 The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the LORD blows on
it; surely the people are grass.

God’s Testimony

8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand
forever.
