Isaiah 40:1-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. "Comfort, O comfort My people," says your God.

2. "Speak kindly to Jerusalem; And call out to her, that her warfare has ended, That her iniquity has been removed, That she has received of the Lord's hand Double for all her sins."

3. A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.

4. "Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley;

5. Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."

6. A voice says, "Call out." Then he answered, "What shall I call out?" All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
