Isaiah 40:2-5

English Standard Version

^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.
^5 (G)And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
    and all flesh shall see it together,
    ^(H)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
