Baruch 5

1 Jerusalem, unclothe thee of the stole of thy mourning, and travailing or of thy travail; and clothe thou thee in or with the fairness, and honour of it, which is of God to thee in everlasting glory.

2 God of rightfulness shall encom-pass thee with a double cloth, and shall set on thine head a mitre of everlasting honour. Forsooth God shall environ thee with double cloth of rightwiseness, and shall put to thine head a mitre of everlasting honour.

3 For God shall show his brightness in thee, which is under heaven.

4 For thy name shall be named of God to thee without end, The peace of rightfulness or Peace of rightwise-ness, and The honour of piety.

5 Jerusalem, rise up, and stand in an high place or in high, and behold about to the east; and see thy sons gathered together from the sun rising till to the west, in the word of the Holy, that make joy or joying in the mind of God.

6 For they went out from thee, and were led of enemies on feet; but the Lord shall bring to thee them borne into honour, as the sons of realm or of kingdom.

7 For God hath ordained to make low each high hill, and everlasting rocks of stones, and great valleys, to fill the unevenness of earth or to full-fill the even valleys into the evenness of earth; that Israel go diligently into the honour of God.

8 Forsooth the woods, and each tree of sweetness, shadowed Israel, by the commandment of God.

9 For God shall bring Israel with mirth, into or in the light of his majesty, with mercy and rightfulness or rightwiseness, which is of him.
