1 And in those days Yoḥanan the Immerser came proclaiming in the wilderness of Yehuḏah,
2 and saying, “Repent, for the reign of the heavens has come near!”
3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Yeshayahu, saying, “A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of יהוה, make His paths straight.’ ”
4 And Yoḥanan had a garment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle around his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.
