That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
aFor she has received from the Lord’s hand
Double for all her sins.”

A highway for our God.

4 Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
aThe crooked places shall be made1 straight
And the rough places smooth;

aThe crooked places shall be made1 straight
And the rough places smooth;

And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
