Luk 3:4. Ὡς, even as) Repentance is described in Luk 3:4-5, remission of sins is implied in Luk 3:6.-ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων, in the book of the words) The book of Isaiah consists of certain portions and sentences [orationibus], and as these were joined together, none could slip out and be lost. So the book of the Psalms, ch. Luk 20:4-6.-φωνὴ-τρίβους αὐτοῦ-τὰ σκολιὰ-αἱ τραχεῖαι-καὶ ὄψέται, κ.τ.λ.) Isa 40:3-5; The passage stands thus in the LXX. φωνὴ-τρίβους τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν-πάντα τὰ σκολιὰ-ἡ τραχεῖα εἰς πέδια-καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἡ δόξα Κυρίου, καἰ ὄψεται πᾶσα σὰρξ τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησε, the voice-the paths of our God-all the crooked things-the rough way made into plains-and the glory of the Lord shall be seen, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God, because [or that] the Lord hath spoken it.
