17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, sto turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
i“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,1
make his paths straight.
27 This is he of whom it is written,
z“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’
1 j“Behold, I send my messenger, and khe will lprepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said,
d“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare1 the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight.’”
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,1
d“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
3 ethe voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare2 the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,’”
