Baruch 5:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Take off your mourning clothesand oppression, Jerusalem!Dress yourself in the dignityof God’s glory forever.

2. Wrap the justice that comes from God around yourself like a robe.Place the eternal one’s gloryon your head like a crown.

3. God will show your brilliance everywhere under heaven.

4. God will give you this nameby which to be called forever:The Peace That Comes from Justice,The Honor That Comesfrom Reverence for God!

5. Get up, Jerusalem!Stand on the high place,and look around to the east!See your children gatheredfrom the west to the eastby the holy one’s word,as they rejoice that God has remembered them.
