1. Your God says,“Comfort, comfort my people.
2. Speak kindly to the people of Jerusalem.Tell themthat their time of service is finished.Tell them that they have paid for their sins.Tell them that the Lord has punished Jerusalemtwice for every sin they did.”
3. This is the voice of a man who calls out:“Prepare in the desertthe way for the Lord.Make the road in the dry landsstraight for our God.
