⁶ A voice is saying, ‘Shout!’
    But I say, ‘What should I shout?’
‘Shout that all people are like grass.
    Their promises are like the flowers in a field.
⁷ Grass quickly dies,
    and flowers fall to the ground.
The Lord causes this to happen,
    when he sends a wind to blow on them.
It is true. People are like grass.
⁸ Grass quickly dies,
    and flowers fall to the ground.
But God's promise will be true for ever.’
