Isaiah 40:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ Listen, there is someone shouting:
“Prepare a way in the desert for the Lord.
    Make a straight road there for our God.
⁴ Every valley must be filled.
    Every mountain and hill should be made flat.
The crooked roads should be made straight,
    and the rough ground made smooth.
⁵ Then the Glory of the Lord will be shown to everyone.
    Together, all people will see it.
Yes, this is what the Lord himself said!”
