Chapter 5
1 Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of your mourning, and affliction: and put on the beauty, and honour of that everlasting glory which you have from God.
2 God will clothe you with the double garment of justice, and will set a crown on your head of everlasting honour.
3 For God will shew his brightness in you, to every one under heaven.
4 For your name shall be named to you by God for ever: the peace of justice, and honour of piety.
5 Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high: and look about towards the east, and behold your children gathered together from the rising to the setting sun, by the word of the Holy One rejoicing in the remembrance of God.
6 For they went out from you on foot, led by the enemies: but the Lord will bring them to you exalted with honour as children of the kingdom.
7 For God has appointed to bring down every high mountain, and the everlasting rocks, and to fill up the valleys to make them even with the ground: that Israel may walk diligently to the honour of God.
8 Moreover the woods, and every sweet-smelling tree have overshadowed Israel by the commandment of God.
9 For God will bring Israel with joy in the light of his majesty, with mercy, and justice, that comes from him.
