Read in context

Isaiah 40:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.

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

9 Go up on a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news. Raise your voice loudly, O Jerusalem, herald of good news. Lift it up, do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”

10 Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and His arm establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him.

11 He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes.
