(A)A voice cries:[a]
(B)“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;
    (C)make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
(D)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.
(E)And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
    and all flesh shall see it together,
    (F)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

  1. Isaiah 40:3 Or A voice of one crying

A voice is crying out:
“Clear the Lord’s way in the desert!
    Make a level highway in the wilderness for our God!
Every valley will be raised up,
    and every mountain and hill will be flattened.
    Uneven ground will become level,
    and rough terrain a valley plain.
The Lord’s glory will appear,
    and all humanity will see it together;
    the Lord’s mouth has commanded it.”
