Isaiah 40

Gen Z: Isaiah 40

1Yo, comfort my peeps, says God.

2Speak chill to Jerusalem, tell her the struggle's done, her sins are forgiven: she got double blessings from the Lord, no cap.

3A voice in the wild is like, "Get ready for the Lord, make a straight path for our God."

4Every valley's gonna be lit, and every mountain's gonna chill: the crooked's getting straightened out, and the rough spots are gonna be smooth.

5The Lord's glory is about to pop off, and everyone’s gonna see it together: God said it, periodt.

6The voice said, "Cry out." And he asked, "What should I say?" All people are like grass, and all their vibes are like flowers in the field.

7The grass fades, the flowers die: the Spirit of the Lord blows on it: for real, people are like grass.

8The grass fades, the flowers die: but the word of our God is goated forever.

9O Zion, bringing good news, climb the high mountain; O Jerusalem, bringing good news, lift your voice strong; don’t be scared; tell the cities of Judah, "Check out your God!"

10Look, the Lord God’s coming in with a strong hand, and His arm is ruling: His reward's with Him, and His work is ahead.

11He’s gonna vibe with his crew like a shepherd, scoopin’ up the lambs and carryin’ them close, leadin’ the fam gently, no cap.

12Who’s out here measuring the waters like it’s nothing, sizing up the heavens, counting the earth’s dust, and weighing mountains like it’s a scale game?

13Who’s directing the Spirit of the Lord? Like, who’s giving Him advice? That’s sus.

14Who’s He chillin’ with for advice, and who schooled Him on judgment and knowledge? He’s got the ultimate rizz for understanding.

15Look, the nations are like a drop in the bucket, just tiny dust on the scale; He lifts the isles like it’s no biggie.

16Lebanon ain’t even enough to burn, and the animals there can’t even handle a lit sacrifice.

17All nations are basically nothing to Him; they’re like less than nothing, just straight-up vanity.

18So, who you gonna compare God to? What’s the vibe check on that?

19The craftsman’s out here melting idols, the goldsmith’s draping it in gold, and making silver chains like it’s a flex.

20If you’re broke and can’t offer anything, you pick a tree that won’t rot, and find a crafty worker to make a solid idol that won’t budge.

21Yo, you heard? Like, have you not caught the vibe from day one? It’s been known since the start, fr.

22He’s chillin' on the circle of the Earth, and people are just tiny grasshoppers to Him; He spreads the heavens like a curtain, setting up a lit tent.

23He straight up brings the bosses to zero; judges be looking like a joke.

24For real, they won’t even plant or sow; their roots won’t even dig in. He’ll just blow on them and they’ll fade away like dry grass.

25So like, who you tryna compare me to? The Holy One ain’t got no equals.

26Look up high and see who made all this; He counts them all and calls them by name, flexing that serious strength. Not one is missing, no cap.

27Why you saying, “My way is hidden from the Lord,” Jacob? Like, what’s up with that, Israel?

28You not getting it? The everlasting God, the Creator of everything, doesn’t tire out or get worn out. His wisdom is on another level.

29He gives power to those who are weak; if you’re lacking energy, He’s boosting your strength, no doubt.

30Even the young ones gonna get tired and fall, for real.

31But those who chill with the Lord will get their energy back; they’ll vibe up like eagles; they’ll run and not get tired; they’ll walk and not tap out.

KJV: Isaiah 40

1Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

2Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins.

3The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

5And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

6The 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:

7The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

8The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

9O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

10Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

11He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

12Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

13Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

14With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

15Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

16And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.

17All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

18To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?

19The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

20He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.

21Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

23That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.

24Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.

25To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

26Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
