Isaiah 40:8
Douay-Rheims
The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen: but the word of our Lord endureth for ever.
Ibn Ezra
The grass withereth, etc. Since he is like grass, he will wither; since he is like the flower, he will fade away; but the word of the Lord shall stand—יעמוד=יקום—and none will frustrate it. רוח ה׳ The wind of the Lord, that is, the wind, which is sent by Him, נשבה בו Bloweth upon it, that is, upon the grass, and it becomes dry.
