1 Take off the garment of your mourning
and affliction, O Jerusalem, and put on
forever the beauty of the glory from God.
2 Put on the robe of the righteousness
fromGod. Set onyourheadadiademofthe
glory of the Everlasting.
3 For God will show your splendor
everywhere under heaven.
4 For your name will be called by God
forever “Righteous Peace, Godly Glory”.
5 Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand upon the
height. Look around you toward the east
and see your children gathered from the
going down of the sun to its rising at the
word of the Holy One, rejoicing that God
has remembered them.
6 For they went from you on foot, being
led away by their enemies, but God brings
them in to you carried on high with glory,
on a royal throne.
7 For God has appointed that every high
mountain and the everlasting hills should
be made low, and the valleys filled up to
make the ground level, that Israel may go
safely in the glory of God.
8 Moreover the woods and every sweet
smelling tree have shaded Israel by the
commandment of God.
9 For God will lead
Israel with joy in the light
of his glory with the mercy and
righteousness that come from him.
