NAI, you read the Greek for what it is,
and you can translate in English however it sounds best in English.
Greek could handle 'exemplary pasts' when they were translating the Hebrew
'exemplary pasts'.
NB: Is 40:7, where your passage is from, is specifically a parable about
what happened when the Lord's Wind blew on grass, and the people are the
grass.
