Revised Version 1895
Isaiah 40:1-11
1ComfortH5162 ye, comfortH5162 ye my peopleH5971, saith your GodH430.
2SpeakH1696 ye comfortably to JerusalemH3389, and cryH7121 unto herH3605, that herH3605 warfareH6635 is accomplishedH4390, that herH3605 iniquityH5771 is pardoned; that sheH3588 hath receivedH3947 of the LORD’SH3068 handH3027 doubleH3718 for allH3605 herH3605 sinsH2403.
3The voiceH6963 of one that crieth, PrepareH6437 ye in the wildernessH4057 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, makeH3474 straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.
4EveryH3605 valleyH1516 shall be exaltedH5375, and everyH3605 mountainH2022 and hillH2022 shall be madeH1961 lowH8213: and the crooked shall be madeH1961 straight, and the rough placesH3605 plainH4334:
5and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be revealedH1540, and allH3605 fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 it togetherH3162: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
6The voiceH6963 of one sayingH559, CryH7121. And one saidH559, WhatH4100 shall I cryH7121? AllH3605 fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and allH3605 the goodliness thereof is as the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704:
7The grassH2682 withereth, the flowerH6731 fadeth; becauseH3588 the breathH7307 of the LORDH3068 bloweth uponH7307 it: surelyH3588 the peopleH5971 is grassH2682.
8The grassH2682 withereth, the flowerH6731 fadeth: but the wordH1697 of our GodH430 shall standH6965 for everH5769.
9O thou that tellest goodH1319 tidingsH1319 to ZionH6726, getH5927 thee upH5927 intoH5921 the highH1364 mountainH2022: O thou that tellest goodH1319 tidingsH1319 to JerusalemH3389, liftH7311 upH5927 thy voiceH6963 with strengthH3581; liftH7311 it upH5927, be notH408 afraidH3372; sayH559 unto the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, BeholdH2009, your GodH430!
10BeholdH2009, the LordH136 GODH136 will comeH935 as a mightyH2389 one, and his armH2220 shall ruleH4910 for him: beholdH2009, his rewardH7939 is with him, and his recompence beforeH6440 him.
11He shall feedH7462 his flockH5739 like a shepherdH7462, he shall gatherH6908 the lambsH5763 in his armH2220, and carryH5375 them in his bosomH2436, and shall gently leadH5095 those that giveH5375 suck.
