Comfort for God’s People

¹“Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God.

²“Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the Lord has punished her twice over for all her sins.”

³Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting, “Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God!

⁴Fill in the valleys, and level the mountains and hills. Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places.

⁵Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. The Lord has spoken!”

Isaiah 40:1-5 (NLT)
