23  ^y“Behold, the ^zvirgin ^ashall conceive and bear a son,

and they shall call his name ^bImmanuel”

^d“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:

‘Prepare¹ the way of the Lord;

make his paths straight.’”

the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

16  the people dwelling in darkness

have seen a great light,

and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,

on them a light has ^rdawned.”
