The King James Version Bible

Isaiah 40:7-13

  1. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

  2. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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?

  7. Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
