Every valley shall be exalted,

and every mountain and hill shall be made low.

The uneven shall be made level,

and the rough places a plain.

The LORD’s glory shall be revealed,

and all flesh shall see it together;

for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.”

One said, “What shall I cry?”

The grass withers,

the flower fades;

but the word of our God stands forever.”

You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain.

You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength!

Lift it up! Don’t be afraid!

Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold, your God!”

Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a mighty one,

and his arm will rule for him.

Behold, his reward is with him,

and his recompense before him.
