3 Listen! Someone is calling out* in the wilderness:+ “Clear up the way* of Jehovah,+YOU people! MAKE the highway for our God through* the desert plain straight.*+
3 This, in fact, is the one spoken of through Isaiah the prophet+ in these words: “Listen! Someone is crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare+ the way of Jehovah,*YOU people! Make his roads straight.’”
