Isaiah 40:6-7

^{Tools
6}

A voice says, “Call out.”
Then ^(a)he answered, “What shall I call out?”
^(A)All flesh is grass, and all its ^(b)loveliness is like the flower of the field.

^{Tools

The ^(B)grass withers, the flower fades,
^(c)When the ^(C)breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
