Isaiah 40:7-10

    Isaiah 40: 7-10

7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,

    because the breath of the Lord 

    blows on them.

    Surely the people are grass.

8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,

    but the word of our God 

    endures forever.”

9 You who bring good news to Zion,

   go up on a high mountain.

   You who bring good news to 

   Jerusalem, lift up your voice 

   with a shout, lift it up, do not be

   afraid;

   say to the towns of Judah,

   "Here is your God!”

10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes 

    with power,

    and he rules with a mighty arm.

    See, his reward is with him,

    and his recompense accompanies 

    him.
