Isaiah 40:6-8
New King James Version
6 The voice said, “Cry out!”
And [a]he said, “What shall I cry?”
(A)“All flesh is grass,
And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades,
Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
But (B)the word of our God stands forever.”
