Luke 3:4-6

New International Reader's Version

“A messenger is calling out in the desert,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord.
    Make straight paths for him.
⁵ Every valley will be filled in.
    Every mountain and hill will be made level.
The crooked roads will become straight.
    The rough ways will become smooth.
⁶ And all people will see God’s salvation.’ ” (Isaiah 40:3–5)
