Isaiah 40:1-5 ▼

1 “Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.

2 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, || That her warfare has been completed, || That her punishment has been accepted, || That she has received from the hand of YHWH || Double for all her sins.

3 A voice is crying in a wilderness: “Prepare the way of YHWH, || Make straight in a desert a highway for our God.

4 Every valley is raised up, || And every mountain and hill become low, || And the crooked place has become a plain, || And the entangled places a valley.

5 And the glory of YHWH has been revealed, || And all flesh have seen [it] together, || For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.”
