Chasidut sur Isaïe 40:6
ק֚וֹל אֹמֵ֣ר קְרָ֔א וְאָמַ֖ר מָ֣ה אֶקְרָ֑א כָּל־הַבָּשָׂ֣ר חָצִ֔יר וְכָל־חַסְדּ֖וֹ כְּצִ֥יץ הַשָּׂדֶֽה׃
Une voix dit: "Proclame!" Et on a répondu: "Que proclamerai-je?" "Toute chair est comme de l’herbe, et toute sa beauté est comme la fleur des champs.
Sefat Emet
In the haftarah ('Comfort, comfort My people') it says (Isaiah.40.6-8), "What shall I proclaim? All flesh is grass." The Sages teach (Perek Shirah 1.49) that the fly declares this when Jews are not occupied with Torah. And the response: "Grass withers, flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever!" For no sin can extinguish Torah.
