Context Reading
6The voice of one saying, “Cry out!”One said, “What shall I cry?”“All flesh is like grass,and all its glory is like the flower of the field. 7The grass withers,the flower fades,because Yahweh’s breath blows on it.Surely the people are like grass. 8The grass withers,the flower fades;but the word of our God stands forever.” 9You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain.You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength!Lift it up! Don’t be afraid!Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold, your God!” 10Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one,and his arm will rule for him.Behold, his reward is with him,and his recompense before him.
