For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Yeshayahu, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of YY , make his paths straight.
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and YY , whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith YY -TZvaot.
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Eliyahu, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for YY .
