ESV — Psalm 103:15; Isaiah 40:6-7; James 1:10; 1 Peter 1:24

15 As for man, his days are like tgrass;

he flourishes like ua flower of the field;

The Word of God Stands Forever

A voice says, “Cry!”

And I said,1 “What shall I cry?”

iAll flesh is grass,

and all its beauty2 is like the flower of the field.

The grass withers, the flower fades

when the breath of the Lord blows on it;

surely the people are grass.
