“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:”
Isaiah 40:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 40:6
This verse contrasts human frailty ('basar,' flesh) with divine eternity. The Hebrew 'chesed' (translated as 'goodliness') refers to covenant loyalty and beauty, yet even humanity's finest qualities wither like grass. This sobering truth humbles human pride and drives us to seek lasting value in God alone.
