The Word of God Stands Forever
6 A voice says, “Cry!”And I said, ▼
▼Revocalization based on Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint, Vulgate; Masoretic Text And someone says
“What shall I cry?”nAll flesh is grass,
and all its beauty ▼
▼Or all its constancy
is like the flower of the field.7The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
8 pThe grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
James 4:14
