1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, will your God say. 2 Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her that her war was filled up, her iniquity was paid off: that she received from the hand of Jehovah double for all her sins. 3 The voice of him calling in the desert, Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight in the sterile region a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the acclivity was for evenness, and the mountain ranges for a valley: 5 And the glory of Jehovah was uncovered, and all flesh saw it together: for the mouth of Jehovah spake. 6 The voice said, Call And he said, What shall I call? All flesh grass, and all its goodness as the flower of the field: 7 The grass was dried up, the flower fell away: for the spirit of Jehovah blew upon it: surely the people grass. 8 The grass was dried up, the flower fell away: and the word of our God shall stand forever.
