“ 'Comfort, O Comfort ye, my people', says my God.

Speak kindly to Jerusalem; and call out to her,

that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed,

that she has received from the Lord’s hand, double for all her sins."

A voice is calling,

'Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness;

make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.

Let every valley be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; and let the rough ground become a plain, and the ragged terrain a broad valley. Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed  and all flesh will see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.' "
