# As it is written ... prophet

Verses 4-6 are a quotation from Isaiah. They can be stated in active form. AT: "This happened as Isaiah the prophet had written in his book" or "John fulfilled the words that the prophet Isaiah had written in his book" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# A voice of one calling out in the wilderness

This can be expressed as a sentence. AT: "The voice of one calling out in the wilderness is heard" or "They hear the sound of someone calling out in the wilderness"
