“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”
A voice cries out in the wilderness to prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God, establishing the call for preparation for God's coming. The oracle invokes the image of a road being prepared through the wilderness, suggesting the removal of obstacles and the clearing of the path. The imagery suggests the return from exile: the desert will become a highway for the returning people.
