b“Prepare the way of the Lord;
cMake straight1 in the desert
A highway for our God.
And every mountain and hill brought low;
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.”

a“All flesh is grass,
And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
