(C)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough ways smooth;
6 And (D)all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”
John Preaches to the People(E)
7 Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, (F)“Brood[a] of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits (G)worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 9 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore (H)every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
