Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low.

I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron.

I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.

I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them.

Make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way.

Prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of My people.

The crooked shall be made straight, and rough ways shall be made smooth.

The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
