The LORD’s glory shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together;
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.”

Isaiah 40:5 in context
Isaiah 40:2–8
2
“Speak comfortably to Jerusalem, and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.”
3
The voice of one who calls out,
“Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness!
Make a level highway in the desert for our God.
4
Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill shall be made low.
The uneven shall be made level,
and the rough places a plain.
5
Selected verse
The LORD’s glory shall be revealed,
and all flesh shall see it together;
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.”
6
The voice of one saying, “Cry out!”
One said, “What shall I cry?”
“All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
7
The grass withers,
the flower fades,
because the LORD’s breath blows on it.
Surely the people are like grass.
8
The grass withers,
the flower fades;
but the word of our God stands forever.”
