New King James Version

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.

And every mountain and hill brought low;
^(D)The crooked places shall be made ^[b]straight
And the rough places smooth;
⁵The ^(E)glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
