Isaiah 40:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 40
2
'Speak kindly to Jerusalem;
And call out to her, that her warfare has ended,
That her guilt has been removed,
That she has received of the
Lord
’S hand
Double for all her sins.'
3
The voice of one calling out,
'Clear the way for the
Lord
in the wilderness;
Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4
Let every valley be lifted up,
And every mountain and hill be made low;
And let the uneven ground become a plain,
And the rugged terrain a broad valley;
5
Then the glory of the
Lord
will be revealed,
And all flesh will see
it
together;
For the mouth of the
Lord
has spoken.'
6
A voice says, 'Call out.'
Then he answered, 'What shall I call out?'
All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
7
The grass withers, the flower fades,
When the breath of the
Lord
blows upon it;
The people are indeed grass!
8
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.
King James Version
Chapter 40
2
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the
Lord
'S hand double for all her sins.
3
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord
, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5
And the glory of the
Lord
shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the
Lord
hath spoken it.
6
The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the
Lord
bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 40
2
"Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and announce to her
that her time of forced labor is over,
her iniquity has been pardoned,
and she has received from the
Lord
’s hand
double for all her sins."
3
A voice of one crying out:
Prepare the way of the
Lord
in the wilderness;
make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
4
Every valley will be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill will be leveled;
the uneven ground will become smooth
and the rough places, a plain.
5
And the glory of the
Lord
will appear,
and all humanity together will see it,
for the mouth of the
Lord
has spoken.
6
A voice was saying, "Cry out!"
Another said, "What should I cry out?"
"All humanity is grass,
and all its goodness is like the flower of the field.
7
The grass withers, the flowers fade
when the breath of the
Lord
blows on them;
indeed, the people are grass.
8
The grass withers, the flowers fade,
but the word of our God remains forever."
New Living Translation
Chapter 40
2
'Speak tenderly to Jerusalem.
Tell her that her sad days are gone
and her sins are pardoned.
Yes, the
Lord
has punished her twice over
for all her sins.'
3
Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting,
'Clear the way through the wilderness
for the
Lord
!
Make a straight highway through the wasteland
for our God!
4
Fill in the valleys,
and level the mountains and hills.
Straighten the curves,
and smooth out the rough places.
5
Then the glory of the
Lord
will be revealed,
and all people will see it together.
The
Lord
has spoken!'
6
A voice said, 'Shout!'
I asked, 'What should I shout?'
'Shout that people are like the grass.
Their beauty fades as quickly
as the flowers in a field.
7
The grass withers and the flowers fade
beneath the breath of the
Lord
.
And so it is with people.
8
The grass withers and the flowers fade,
but the word of our God stands forever.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 40
2

and cry to her
that her warfare is ended,
that her iniquity is pardoned,

3
A voice cries:
"In the wilderness prepare the way of the
Lord
;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4
Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain.
5
And the glory of the

surely the people are grass.

New International Version
Chapter 40
2
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her
that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from the
Lord
’s hand
double for all her sins.
3
A voice of one calling:
"In the wilderness prepare
the way for the
Lord
;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.
4
Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.
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 forever."
New King James Version
Chapter 40
2
“Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her,
That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
For she has received from the
Lord
’s hand
Double for all her sins.”
3
The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the
Lord
;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.
4
Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough places smooth;
5
The glory of the
Lord
shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see
it
together;
For the mouth of the
Lord
has spoken.”
6
The voice said, “Cry out!”
And he said, “What shall I cry?”
“All flesh
is
grass,
And all its loveliness
is
like the flower of the field.
7
The grass withers, the flower fades,
Because the breath of the
Lord
blows upon it;
Surely the people
are
grass.
8
The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever.”
