40:5 耶和华的荣耀必然显现，凡属肉体的人必一同看见，因为这是耶和华亲口说的。

40:6 有人声说，你喊叫罢。有一个说，我喊叫什么呢？说，凡属肉体的人尽都如草，他一切的荣美都像野地的花；
A voice said, Cry out. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass And all its glory is like the flower of the field;
40:7 草必枯干，花必凋残，因为耶和华的气吹在其上。百姓诚然是草。
The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of Jehovah blows upon it. Surely the people are grass.

40:11 祂必像牧人牧养自己的羊群，用膀臂聚集羊羔，抱在怀中。祂必引导那乳养小羊的。
He will feed His flock as a Shepherd; In His arm He will gather the lambs; In His bosom He will carry them. He will lead those who are nursing the young.
40:12 谁曾用手心量诸水，用手虎口测诸天，用量器量大地的尘土，用秤称山岭，用天平称冈陵呢？
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, Who has calculated the extent of the heavens with a handspan, And measured out the dust of the earth by a measure, And weighed the mountains in scales And the hills in balances?

All the nations are as nothing before Him; They are counted by Him as less than nothing and vanity.
