Isaiah 40:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 “Speak tenderly to[a] Jerusalem,
and announce to her
that her time of forced labor is over,
her iniquity(A) has been pardoned,(B)
and she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.”(C)
3 A voice of one crying out:
Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness;(D)
make a straight highway for our God in the desert.(E)
4 Every valley will be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill will be leveled;
the uneven ground will become smooth
and the rough places, a plain.(F)
