Baruch 5, verse 1. O Jerusalem, take off the garment of your sorrow and your oppression, and put on the beauty from the God of glory forever. Baruch 5, verse 2. Put around you the double robe of righteousness from God; set upon your head the diadem of the glory of the Eternal One. Baruch 5, verse 3.

Baruch 5, verse 5. Arise, O Jerusalem, stand upon the heights and look eastward, and behold your children being gathered together by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the remembrance of God. Baruch 5, verse 6. For they went out from you on foot, being led away by their enemies. But God will return them being carried back with glory, as on the throne of a kingdom. Baruch 5, verse 7. For God commanded every high mountain and the everlasting hills to be made low, and all the valleys to be filled until made level, so that Israel may walk safely in the glory of God; Baruch 5, verse 8. and at the command of God, the woods and every fragrant tree have shaded Israel. Baruch 5, verse 9. For God will lead Israel with joy in the light of His glory, with mercy and righteousness that come from Him.
