Prepare Ye The Way

Isaiah 40:3-5 NIV

 A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
    the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert
    a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up,
    every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
    the rugged places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,
    and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Isaiah 40:3-5 CJB

A voice cries out:
“Clear a road through the desert for Adonai!
Level a highway in the ‘Aravah for our God!
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill lowered,
the bumpy places made level
and the crags become a plain.
Then the glory of Adonai will be revealed;
all humankind together will see it,
for the mouth of Adonai has spoken.”
