Isaiah 40:6
Douay-Rheims
The voice of one, saying: Cry. And I said: What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory thereof as the flower of the held.
Ibn Ezra
The voice said, etc. This verse explains the glory of the Lord to consist in the fact that His word alone is fulfilled, not so the word of man. The voice. The angel. Said unto the prophet. כחציר=חציר Like grass. Comp. כשמש=שמש as sun (Ps. 84:12). As the flower of the field, which flourisheth in the morning and groweth up, but is cut down and withereth in the evening (Ps. 90:6)
