BARUḴ 5

1 O Yerushalayim, put off the garment of mourning and affliction,
And put on the comeliness of the esteem that comes from Elohim forever.

2 Throw around yourself a double garment of the righteousness which comes from Elohim;
And put a crown of the esteem of the Everlasting on your head.

3 For Elohim shall show your brightness to every land under the shamayim.

4 For your name shall forever be called by Elohim:
‘The Peace of Righteousness,’ and ‘The Esteem of Worship of Elohim.’

5 Arise, O Yerushalayim, and stand on high,
And look out toward the east, and see your children gathered from the west to the east by the word of the Qadosh One,
Rejoicing in the remembrance of Elohim.

6 For they departed from you on foot, and were led away by their enemies;
But Elohim brings them to you exalted with esteem,
As children of the reign.

7 For Elohim has appointed every high hill, and longstanding mountains to be thrown down,
And valleys filled up, to make the ground even,
That Yisra’ĕl may go safely in the esteem of Elohim,

8 And even the forests and every sweet smelling tree,
Shall shade Yisra’ĕl at the command of Elohim.

9 For Elohim shall lead Yisra’ĕl with joy in the light of His esteem,
With the kindness and righteousness that comes from Him.
