2“1SpeakH1696 2kindlyH3820 to JerusalemH3389; And callH7121 outH7121 to her, that her 34warfareH6635 has endedH4390, That her 56guiltH5771 has been removedH7521, That she has receivedH3947 of the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 7DoubleH3718 for allH3605 her sinsH2403.”
38The voiceH6963 of one callingH7121 outH7121, “9ClearH6437 the wayH1870 for the LordH3068 in the wildernessH4057; MakeH3474 10straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.4Let everyH3605 valleyH1516 be liftedH5375 upH5375, And everyH3605 mountainH2022 and hillH1389 be madeH8213 lowH8213; And let the unevenH6121 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 outH7121.” Then 15he answeredH559, “WhatH4100 shall I callH7121 outH7121?” 16AllH3605 fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and allH3605 its 17lovelinessH2617 is like the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704.
