Each valley shall be enhanced, and each mountain and little hill shall be made low; and shrewd things shall be into straight things, and sharp things shall be into plain ways.
The voice of a crier in desert [or The voice of the one crying in desert], Make ye ready the way of the Lord, make ye rightful [or right] the paths of our God in wilderness.
The desert be raised [up], and the cities thereof; he shall dwell in the houses of Kedar; ye dwellers of the stone, praise ye; they shall cry from the top of hills.
I shall go before thee, and I shall make low the glorious men of earth; I shall all-break [the] brazen gates, and I shall break altogether [the] iron bars.
Pass ye, pass ye by the gates; make ye ready a way to the people, make ye a plain path; and choose ye [the] stones, and raise ye [up] a sign to peoples.
And all [the] trees of the country shall know, that I am the Lord; I made low the high tree, and I enhanced the low tree, and I made dry the green tree, and I made the dry tree to bring forth boughs; I the Lord have spoken, and I have done.
Truly I say to you, this went down into his house, and was justified from the other. For each that enhanceth himself, shall be made low, and he that meeketh himself, shall be enhanced.
Each valley shall be full-filled, and every hill [or mountain] and little hill shall be made low; and shrewd things shall be into dressed things, and sharp things into plain ways;
He raiseth a needy man from powder, and he raiseth a poor man from drit, that he sit with princes, and hold the seat of glory; for the ends of [the] earth be of the Lord, and he hath set the world on those [or them].
