A   O Ierusalem, loke aboute the towarde the east, and beholde the ioye, that commeth vnto the from God. For lo, thy sonnes, (whom thou hast forsak&ebar;, and that were scatred abrode) come gathered together from the east and west, reioysinge in the worde of the holy one, vnto the honoure off God.

Put of thy mournynge clothes (o Ierusalem) and thy sorow, and decke the with the worshipe and honoure, that commeth vnto the from God, with euerlastinge glory. God shal put the cloake off rightuousnesse vpon the, and set a crowne off euerlastinge worshipe vpon thine heade: for vpon the will God declare his brightnes, that is vnder the heauen: Yee an euerlastinge name shalbe geuen the of God, with peace of rightuousnesse, ∧ þe; honoure of Gods feare.

B   Arise o Ierusalem, st&obar;de vp on hye: loke aboute the towarde the east, and beholde thy children gathered from the east vnto the west: which reioyce in the holy worde, hauynge God in remembraunce. They departed from the on fote, and were led awaye of their enemies: but now shal the LORDE bringe them caried with honoure, as children off þe; kyngdome. For God is purposed to brynge downe all stoute mo&ubar;taynes, yee and all hye rockes, to fyll the valleys, ∧ so to make them eauen with the grounde: þt; Israel maye be dilig&ebar;t to lyue vnto þe; honoure of God. The woddes ∧ all pleasa&ubar;t trees shal ouershadowe Israel, at the c&obar;maundement of God. For hyther shal God brynge Israel with ioyfull myrth, and in the light of his magesty: with the mercy and rightuousnesse, that c&obar;meth of himselff.
