God’s People Are Comforted
That her warfare is ended,
That her iniquity is pardoned;
aFor she has received from the Lord’s hand
Double for all her sins.”
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.”
And1 he said, “What shall I cry?”
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.
You who bring good tidings,
Get up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem,
You who bring good tidings,
Lift up your voice with strength,
Lift it up, be not afraid;
Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
And aHis arm shall rule for Him;
Behold, bHis reward is with Him,
And His1 work before Him.
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young.
Measured heaven with a1 span
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance?
