5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,and all people will see it together.For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’
6 A 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.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,because the breath of the Lord blows on them.Surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,but the word of our God endures for ever.’
9 You who bring good news to Zion,go up on a high mountain.You who bring good news to Jerusalem,lift up your voice with a shout,lift it up, do not be afraid;say to the towns of Judah,‘Here is your God!’
10 See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,and he rules with a mighty arm.See, his reward is with him,and his recompense accompanies him.
11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:he gathers the lambs in his armsand carries them close to his heart;he gently leads those that have young.
