Isaiah 40:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem and announce to it
that its time of hard labor is over
and its wrongs have been paid for.
It has received from the Lord double for all its sins.”

“Clear a way for the Lord.
Make a straight highway in the wilderness for our God.
⁴ Every valley will be raised.
Every mountain and hill will be lowered.
Steep places will be made level.
Rough places will be made smooth.
