Baruch 5

Put off, O Yeruwshalaim, the garment of your mourning and affliction, and put on the comeliness of the glory that comes from Elohim for ever. Cast about you the robe of the righteousness which comes from Elohim; set a diadem on your head of the glory of the Everlasting. For Elohim will show your brightness to every region under heaven. For your name shall be called of Elohim for ever The peace of righteousness, and The glory of godliness. Arise, O Yeruwshalaim, and stand upon the height, and look about you toward the east, and behold your children gathered from the going down of the sun to the rising thereof at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing that Elohim has remembered them. For they went from you on foot, being led away of their enemies: but Elohim brings them in to you borne on high with glory, * Another reading is, as children of the kingdom. as on a royal throne. For Elohim has 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 Elohim. Moreover the woods and every sweet smelling tree have overshadowed Israel by the commandment of Elohim. For Elohim shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that comes from him.

*5:6: Another reading is, as children of the kingdom.
