Baruch:5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Put off ,
O Jerusalem ,
the garment of mourning and affliction ,
and put on the comeliness of the glory that cometh from God for ever .
*
Cast about thee a double garment of the righteousness which cometh from God ;
and set a diadem on thine head of the glory of the Everlasting .
*
For God will shew thy brightness unto every country under heaven .
*
For thy name shall be called of God for ever The peace of righteousness ,
and The glory of God '
s worship .
*
Arise ,
O Jerusalem ,
and stand on high ,
and look about toward the east ,
and behold thy children gathered from the west unto the east by the word of the Holy One ,
rejoicing in the remembrance of God .
*
For they departed from thee on foot ,
and were led away of their enemies :
but God bringeth them unto thee exalted with glory ,
as children of the kingdom .
*
For God hath appointed that every high hill ,
and banks of long continuance ,
should be cast down ,
and valleys filled up ,
to make even the ground ,
that Israel may go safely in the glory of God ,
*
Moreover even the woods and every sweetsmelling tree shall overshadow Israel by the commandment of God .
*
For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him .
