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.
