2Speak comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry to her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of Yahweh`s hand double for all her sins.
3The voice of one who cries, Prepare you in the wilderness the way of Yahweh; make level in the desert a highway for our God.
4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain:
5and the glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
6The voice of one saying, Cry. One said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory of it is as the flower of the field.
7The grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of Yahweh blows on it; surely the people is grass.
8The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God shall stand forever.
