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.” 6 A voice is saying, “Call,” || And he said, “What do I call?” All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodness || [Is] as a flower of the field: 7 Grass has withered, the flower faded, || For the Spirit of YHWH blew on it, || Surely the people [is] grass; 8 Grass has withered, the flower faded, || But a word of our God rises forever.
