2“1SpeakH1696 2kindlyH3820 to JerusalemH3389; And callH7121 out to her, that her 34warfareH6635 has endedH4390, That her 56iniquityH5771 has been removedH7521, That she has receivedH3947 of the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 7DoubleH3718 for allH3605 her sinsH2403.”
38A voiceH6963 9is callingH7121, “10ClearH6437 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;511Then the 12gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 will be revealedH1540, And 13allH3605 fleshH1320 will seeH7200 it togetherH3164; For the 14mouthH6310 of the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.”6A voiceH6963 saysH559, “CallH7121 out.” Then 15he answeredH559, “WhatH4100 shall I callH7121 out?” 16AllH3605 fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and allH3605 its 17lovelinessH2617 is like the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704.
