⁷⁶ “And you, child, will be called the ^(A)prophet of the Highest;
For ^(B)you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,

^3 (A)The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
^(B)“Prepare the way of the Lord;
^(C)Make straight ^[a]in the desert
A highway for our God.
⁴ Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
^(D)The crooked places shall be made ^[b]straight
And the rough places smooth;
⁵ The ^(E)glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

^(A)“Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.”
³ “The^(B) voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”

^(B)‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’
