(A)The voice of one calling out,
(B)Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness;
Make [a]straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Let every valley be lifted up,
And every mountain and hill be made low;

And the rugged terrain a broad valley;
[b]Then the (C)glory of the Lord will be revealed,
And (D)all flesh will see it together;
For the (E)mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
