CHAP. V.

1 Ierusalem is moued to reioyce, 5 and to behold their returne out of captiuity with glory.

¹ Put off, O Ierusalem, the garment of thy mourning and affliction, and put on the comelinesse of the glory that commeth from God for euer.

² Cast about thee a double garment of the righteousnesse which commeth from God, and set a diademe on thine head of the glory of the euerlasting.

³ For God wil shew thy brightnesse vnto euery countrey vnder heauen.

⁴ For thy name shall bee called of God for euer, The peace of righteousnesse, and the glory of Gods worship.

⁵ Arise, O Ierusalem, and stand on high, and looke about toward the East, and behold thy children gathered from the West vnto the East by the word of the holy One, reioycing in the remembrance of God.

⁶ For they departed from thee on foote, and were ledde away of their enemies: but God bringeth them vnto thee exalted with glory, as children of the kingdome.

⁷ For God hath appointed that euery high hill, and banks of long continuance should be cast downe, and valleys filled vp, to make euen the ground, that Israel may goe safely in the glory of God.

⁸ Moreouer, euen the woods, & euery sweet smelling tree, shall ouershadow Israel by the commandement of God.

⁹ For God shall leade Israel with ioy, in the light of his glory, with the mercy and righteousnes that commeth from him.
