A
1 Put of thy mourning
clothes O Hierusalem
and thy sorow, ∧ decke
thee with the worship ∧
honour that commeth
vnto thee from God
with euerlasting glorie.
2 God shal put the garment of righteousnesse
vpon thee, ∧ set a crowne of euerlasting
worship vpon thyne head:
3 For vpon thee will God declare his
brightnesse, that is vnder the heauen.
4 Yea an euerlasting name shall be geuen

and the honour of gods feare.
5 Arise O Hierusalem, stande vp on hye,
loke about thee towarde the east, and
beholde thy children gathered from the
east vnto the west, whiche reioyce in
the holy worde, hauing God in remembraunce.
6 They departed from thee on foote, and
were led away of their enemies: but
now shall the Lorde bring them caryed
with honour, as chyldren of the kingdome.

7 For God is purposed to bring downe al
stout mountaynes, yea ∧ all hie rockes,
to fill the valleys, and so to make them
euen with the ground, that Israel may
be diligent to liue vnto the honour of
God.
8 The woods ∧ all pleasaunt trees, shall
ouershadowe Israel at the commaundement
of God.
9 For hyther shal God bring Israel with
ioyfull mirth, and in the light of his maiestie,
with the mercie and righteousnesse
that commeth of him selfe.
