Baruch 5
5
1Take off your mourning clothes
and oppression, Jerusalem!
Dress yourself in the dignity
of God’s glory forever.
2Wrap the justice that comes from God around yourself like a robe.
Place the eternal one’s glory
on your head like a crown.
3God will show your brilliance everywhere under heaven.
4God will give you this name
by which to be called forever:
The Peace That Comes from Justice,
The Honor That Comes
from Reverence for God!
5Get up, Jerusalem!
Stand on the high place,
and look around to the east!
See your children gathered
from the west to the east
by the holy one’s word,
as they rejoice that God has remembered them.
6They went out from you on foot,
driven along by their enemies,
but God will bring them back to you,
carried aloft with glory
as on a royal throne.
7God has ordered every high mountain and the eternal hills
to be brought down,
and the valleys to be filled in
to level the ground
so that Israel may walk safely
in God’s glory. f
8The woods and every fragrant ftree
have shaded Israel
with God’s command.
9God will lead Israel with gladness
by the light that shines forth
from his glory,
with the mercy and righteousness
that come from him.
