2 “Speak1 comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her,
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.

cMake straight1 in the desert
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;
And every mountain and hill brought low;
aThe crooked places shall be made1 straight
And the rough places smooth;
5 The aglory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
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.

And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades,
Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
