Luke 3:4-6

Expanded Bible

“This is a voice of one
    who ·calls out [shouts; cries out] in the ·desert [wilderness]:
‘Prepare the way for the Lord.
    Make ·the road straight [a clear path] for him.
⁵ Every ·valley [ravine; wadi] should be filled in,
    and every mountain and hill should be made ·flat [level; low].
·Roads with turns [^LCurved/^TCrooked places] should be made straight,
    and rough ·roads [paths; ways] should be made smooth.
⁶ And all ·people [humanity; ^Tflesh] will ·know about [^Lsee] the salvation of God [Is. 40:3–5]!’”
