Isaiah 40:6-8

Isaiah 40:6-8

[6] The voice  said,  Cry.  And he said,  What shall I cry?  All flesh  is grass,  and all the goodliness  thereof is as the flower  of the field:  [7] The grass  withereth,  the flower  fadeth:  because the spirit  of the LORD  bloweth  upon it: surely  the people  is grass.  [8] The grass  withereth,  the flower  fadeth:  but the word  of our God  shall stand  for ever.
