Isaiah 40:1-11

1“1ComfortH5162, O comfortH5162 My peopleH5971,” saysH559 your GodH430.2“2SpeakH1696 3kindlyH3820 to JerusalemH3389; And callH7121 out to her, that her 45warfareH6635 has endedH4390, That her 67iniquityH5771 has been removedH7521, That she has receivedH3947 of the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 8DoubleH3718 for allH3605 her sinsH2403.”

39A voiceH6963 10is callingH7121, “11ClearH6437 the wayH1870 for the LordH3068 in the wildernessH4057; MakeH3474 smoothH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.4Let everyH3605 valleyH1516 be liftedH5375 up, And everyH3605 mountainH2022 and hillH1389 be madeH8213 lowH8213; And let the roughH6121 groundH6121 becomeH1961 a plainH4334, And the ruggedH7406 terrainH7406 a broadH1237 valleyH1237;512Then the 13gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 will be revealedH1540, And 14allH3605 fleshH1320 will seeH7200 it togetherH3164; For the 15mouthH6310 of the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.”6A voiceH6963 saysH559, “CallH7121 out.” Then 16he answeredH559, “WhatH4100 shall I callH7121 out?” 17AllH3605 fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and allH3605 its 18lovelinessH2617 is like the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704.7The 19grassH2682 withersH3001, the flowerH6731 fadesH5034, 20WhenH3588 the 21breathH7307 of the LordH3068 blowsH5380 upon it; SurelyH403 the peopleH5971 are grassH2682.8The grassH2682 withersH3001, the flowerH6731 fadesH5034, But 22the wordH1697 of our GodH430 standsH6965 foreverH5769.

9GetH5927 yourself up on a 23highH1364 mountainH2022, O ZionH6726, bearerH1319 of 24good newsH1319, LiftH7311 up your voiceH6963 mightilyH3581, O JerusalemH3389, bearerH1319 of good newsH1319; LiftH7311 it up, do not fearH3372. SayH559 to the 25citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, “26HereH2009 is your GodH430!”10BeholdH2009, the LordH136 27GodH3068 will comeH935 28with mightH2389, With His 29armH2220 rulingH4910 for Him. BeholdH2009, His 30rewardH7939 is with Him And His recompenseH6468 beforeH6440 Him.11Like a shepherdH7462 He will 31tendH7462 His flockH5739, In His armH2220 He will gatherH6908 the lambsH2924 And carryH5375 them in His bosomH2436; He will gently leadH5095 the nursingH5763 ewes.
