Isaiah 40:3-8

3A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD Or A voice of one calling in the wilderness: / “Prepare the way for the Lord ; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Hebrew; Septuagint make straight the paths of our God

4Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.

5And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

6A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” “All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.

7The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass.

8The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”
