BARUCH 5

1Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of thy mourning and affliction, and put on the comeliness of the glory that cometh from God for ever. 2Cast about thee the robe of the righteousness which cometh from God; set a diadem on thine head of the glory of the Everlasting. 3For God will shew thy brightness unto every region under heaven. 4For thy name shall be called of God for ever The peace of righteousness, and The glory of godliness. 5Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand upon the height, and look about thee toward the east, and behold thy children gathered from the going down of the sun unto the rising thereof at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing that God hath remembered them. 6For they went from thee on foot, being led away of their enemies: but God bringeth them in unto thee borne on high with glory, as on a royal throne. 7For God hath appointed that every high mountain, and the everlasting hills, should be made low, and the valleys filled up, to make plain the ground, that Israel may go safely in the glory of God. 8Moreover the woods and every sweet-smelling tree have overshadowed Israel by the commandment of God. 9For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him.
