1 |Comfort my people! Comfort them!| says your God. 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.| 3 A voice cries out in the desert: |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. 5 Then the LORD's glory will be revealed and all people will see it together. The LORD has spoken.| Isaiah 40:1-5, God's Word Translation.
