10 This is he of whom it is written,
q“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’
1 g“Behold, I send hmy messenger, and ihe will prepare the way before me. And the Lord jwhom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and kthe messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.
2 bAs it is written in Isaiah the prophet,1
c“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
d“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;
emake straight in the desert a highway for our God.
5 d“Behold, I will send you eElijah the prophet fbefore the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said,
m“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
n‘Prepare1 the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight.’”
26 What then did you go out to see? gA prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written,
h“‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.’
23 He said, “I am tthe voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight1 the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
