Isaiah 40:2-4
World English Bible

2 “Speak comfortably to Jerusalem; and call out 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.”

3 The voice of one who calls out,
    “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness!
    Make a level highway in the desert for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted,
    and every mountain and hill shall be made low.
    The uneven shall be made level,
    and the rough places a plain.
