Isaiah 40:2-4
English Standard Version

2 (A)Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
    and cry to her
that (B)her warfare[a] is ended,
    that her iniquity is pardoned,
that she has received from the Lord's hand
    double for all her sins.

3 (C)A voice cries:[b]
(D)“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;
    (E)make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 (F)Every valley shall be lifted up,
    and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
    and the rough places a plain.
