Isaiah 40:3

^aA voice ¹is calling,

“^bPrepare the way for Yahweh in the wilderness;

Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.

Matthew 3:3

3 For this is the ^aone referred to ¹by Isaiah the prophet, saying,

“^bThe voice of one ²crying in the wilderness,

‘^cMake ready the way of the ³Lord,

Make His paths straight!’”

And you, child, will be called the ^aprophet of ^bthe Most High,

For you will go on ^cbefore the ¹Lord to ^dmake ready His ways,
