Isaiah 40:3-5

3 Somebody's voice is shouting,

‘Prepare a way in the wilderness for the Lord.

Make a straight road in the desert for our God.

4 Raise up every valley,

and bring down every mountain and hill.

The rough ground and the ground that has rocks

will become flat.

5 Then the great glory of the Lord will appear!

All people will see it at the same time.

The Lord himself has promised this.’
