Isaiah 40:1-3

Young's Literal Translation

40 Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God.

² Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare hath been completed, That accepted hath been her punishment, That she hath received from the hand of Jehovah Double for all her sins.

³ A voice is crying -- in a wilderness -- Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God.
