3 and he goes to all the region around Yarden preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins
4 - as scribed in the scroll of the words of Yesha Yah the prophet, wording, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Yah Veh, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley is filled, and every mountain and hill humbled; and the crooked made into straight, and the jagged ways made smooth;
6 and all flesh sees the salvation of Elohim. Isaiah 40:3-5
7 So he words to the multitude who proceed to be baptized by him, O progeny of vipers, who exemplifies you to flee the wrath about to be?
8 So produce fruits worthy of repentance: and begin not to word within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father. For I word to you, that Elohim is able, from these stones, to raise children to Abraham.
9 And also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees: so that every tree not producing good fruit is exscinded, and cast into the fire.
10 And the multitude ask him, wording, So what do we?
11 He answers them, wording, Whoever has two tunics, impart to him who has none: and whoever has food, do likewise.
12 And customs agents also come to be baptized, and say to him, Doctor, what do we?
13 And he says to them, Exact no more than that ordained of you.
14 And the warriors likewise ask of him, wording, And what do we? And he says to them, Intimidate no one! Sycophant not! And be satisfied with your wages!
