CHAPTER 5
1 Jerusalem, unclothe thee of the stole of thy mourning, and travailing [or of thy travail]; and clothe thou thee in [or with] the fairness, and honour of it, which is of God to thee in everlasting glory.
2 God of rightfulness shall encom-pass thee with a double cloth, and shall set on thine head a mitre of everlasting honour. [Forsooth God shall environ thee with double cloth of rightwiseness, and shall put to thine head a mitre of everlasting honour.]
3 For God shall show his brightness in thee, which is under heaven.
4 For thy name shall be named of God to thee without end, The peace of rightfulness [or Peace of rightwise-ness], and The honour of piety.
5 Jerusalem, rise up, and stand in an high place [or in high], and behold about to the east; and see thy sons gathered together from the sun rising till to the west, in the word of the Holy, that make joy [or joying] in the mind of God.
6 For they went out from thee, and were led of enemies on feet; but the Lord shall bring to thee them borne into honour, as the sons of realm [or of kingdom].
7 For God hath ordained to make low each high hill, and everlasting rocks of stones, and great valleys, to fill the unevenness of earth [or to full-fill the even valleys into the evenness of earth]; that Israel go diligently into the honour of God.
8 Forsooth the woods, and each tree of sweetness, shadowed Israel, by the commandment of God.
9 For God shall bring Israel with mirth, into [or in] the light of his majesty, with mercy and rightfulness [or rightwiseness], which is of him.
