4as it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396: “1The voiceG5456 of one callingG994 2outG994 in the wildernessG2048, ‘PrepareG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, MakeG4160 His pathsG5147 straightG2117!53EveryG3956 ravineG5327 will be filledG4137, And everyG3956 mountainG3735 and hillG1015 will be loweredG5013; The crookedG4646 will becomeG1510G1519 straightG2117, And the roughG5138 roadsG3598 smoothG3006;64And allG3956 5fleshG4561 will 6seeG3708 the salvationG4992 of GodG2316!’”
