Isaiah 40:7 Context
5And the glory of the Lord shall be reuealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 6The voyce sayd; Cry. And hee sayd; What shall I cry? All flesh is grasse, and all the goodlinesse thereof is as the flowre of the field. 7The grasse withereth, the flowre fadeth; because the spirit of the Lord bloweth vpon it: surely the people is grasse. 8The grasse withereth, the flowre fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for euer. 9¶ O Zion, that bringest good tydings, get thee vp into the high mountaine: O Ierusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift vp thy voyce with strength, lift it vp, be not afraid: say vnto the cities of Iudah; Behold your God.
