Matthew 3:1-4

1Now 1in those days 2John the Baptist 3came, 4preaching in the 5wilderness of Judea, saying, 2“6Repent, for 7the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3For this is the 8one referred to 9by Isaiah the prophet when he said, “10The voice of one 11calling 12out in the wilderness, ‘13Prepare the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight!’” 4Now John himself had 1415a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was 16locusts and wild honey.
