6 *ch. 40:26Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

and look at the earth beneath;

*Ps. 102:26;[Matt. 24:25;2 Pet. 3:10;Rev. 21:1] for the heavens vanish like smoke,

the earth will wear out like a garment,

and they who dwell in it will die in like manner;*51:6 Or will die like gnats

*[Ps. 102:27,28]but my salvation will be forever,

and my righteousness will never be dismayed.
