Isaiah 40:9 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 40.

5 And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

6 A voice says, “Cry out!” And I asked, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field.

7 The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.

8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”

9 Go up on a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news. Raise your voice loudly, O Jerusalem, herald of good news. Lift it up, do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”

10 Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and His arm establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him.

11 He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes.

12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?

13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or informed Him as His counselor?
