Isaiah 40:5-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 40
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.
9
Go up on a high mountain,
Zion, messenger of good news,
Raise your voice forcefully,
Jerusalem, messenger of good news;
Raise
it
up, do not fear.
Say to the cities of Judah,
'Here is your God!'
10
Behold, the Lord
God
will come with might,
With His arm ruling for Him.
Behold, His compensation is with Him,
And His reward before Him.
11
Like a shepherd He will tend His flock,
In His arm He will gather the lambs
And carry
them
in the fold of His robe;
He will gently lead the nursing
ewes.
12
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
And measured the heavens with a span,
And calculated the dust of the earth with a measure,
And weighed the mountains in a balance
And the hills in a pair of scales?
13
Who has directed the Spirit of the
Lord
,
Or as His counselor has informed Him?
14
With whom did He consult and
who
gave Him understanding?
And
who
taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge,
And informed Him of the way of understanding?
15
Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
And are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales;
Behold, He lifts up the islands like fine dust.
16
Even Lebanon is not enough to burn,
Nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.
King James Version
Chapter 40
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.
9
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10
Behold, the Lord
God
will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
11
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13
Who hath directed the Spirit of the
Lord
, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
14
With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
15
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
16
And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 40
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."
9
Zion, herald of good news,
go up on a high mountain.
Jerusalem, herald of good news,
raise your voice loudly.
Raise it, do not be afraid!
Say to the cities of Judah,
"Here is your God!"
10
See, the Lord
God
comes with strength,
and his power establishes his rule.
His wages are with him,
and his reward accompanies him.
11
He protects his flock like a shepherd;
he gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them in the fold of his garment.
He gently leads those that are nursing.
12
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand?
Who has gathered the dust of the earth in a measure
or weighed the mountains on a balance
and the hills on the scales?
13
Who has directed the Spirit of the
Lord
,
or who gave him counsel?
14
Who did he consult?
Who gave him understanding
and taught him the paths of justice?
Who taught him knowledge
and showed him the way of understanding?
15
Look, the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are considered as a speck of dust on the scales;
he lifts up the islands like fine dust.
16
Lebanon’s cedars are not enough for fuel,
or its animals enough for a burnt offering.
New Living Translation
Chapter 40
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.'
9
O Zion, messenger of good news,
shout from the mountaintops!
Shout it louder, O Jerusalem.
Shout, and do not be afraid.
Tell the towns of Judah,
'Your God is coming!'
10
Yes, the Sovereign
Lord
is coming in power.
He will rule with a powerful arm.
See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.
11
He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
He will carry the lambs in his arms,
holding them close to his heart.
He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.
12
Who else has held the oceans in his hand?
Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?
Who else knows the weight of the earth
or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?
13
Who is able to advise the Spirit of the
Lord
?
Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him?
14
Has the
Lord
ever needed anyone’s advice?
Does he need instruction about what is good?
Did someone teach him what is right
or show him the path of justice?
15
No, for all the nations of the world
are but a drop in the bucket.
They are nothing more
than dust on the scales.
He picks up the whole earth
as though it were a grain of sand.
16
All the wood in Lebanon’s forests
and all Lebanon’s animals would not be enough
to make a burnt offering worthy of our God.
English Standard Version
Chapter 40
5
And the glory of the
Lord
shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together,
for the mouth of the
Lord
has spoken."
6
A voice says, "Cry!"
And I said, "What shall I cry?"
All flesh is grass,
and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
7
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the
Lord
blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
8
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
9
Go on up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good news;
lift up your voice with strength,
O Jerusalem, herald of good news;
lift it up, fear not;
say to the cities of Judah,
"Behold your God!"
10
Behold, the Lord
God
comes with might,
and his arm rules for him;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.
11
He will tend his flock like a shepherd;
he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom,
and gently lead those that are with young.
12
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
and weighed the mountains in scales
and the hills in a balance?
13
Who has measured the Spirit of the
Lord
,
or what man shows him his counsel?
14
Whom did he consult,
and who made him understand?
Who taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
15
Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
and are accounted as the dust on the scales;
behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust.
16
Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,
nor are its beasts enough for a burnt offering.
New International Version
Chapter 40
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."
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 arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.
12
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance?
13
Who can fathom the Spirit of the
Lord
,
or instruct the
Lord
as his counselor?
14
Whom did the
Lord
consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge,
or showed him the path of understanding?
15
Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
16
Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires,
nor its animals enough for burnt offerings.
New King James Version
Chapter 40
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.”
9
O Zion,
You who bring good tidings,
Get up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem,
You who bring good tidings,
Lift up your voice with strength,
Lift
it
up, be not afraid;
Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
10
Behold, the Lord
God
shall come with a strong
hand,
And His arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, His reward
is
with Him,
And His work before Him.
11
He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry
them
in His bosom,
And
gently lead those who are with young.
12
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
Measured heaven with a span
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance?
13
Who has directed the Spirit of the
Lord
,
Or
as
His counselor has taught Him?
14
With whom did He take counsel, and
who
instructed Him,
And taught Him in the path of justice?
Who taught Him knowledge,
And showed Him the way of understanding?
15
Behold, the nations
are
as a drop in a bucket,
And are counted as the small dust on the scales;
Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing.
16
And Lebanon
is
not sufficient to burn,
Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering.
