GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY

BARUCH 5:1-5

1 Jerusalem, put off your garment
of mourning and unhappiness, 

put on the splendor and glory of God forever.
2 Wrap yourself in the mantle of holiness 

that comes from God, 

put on your head the crown of glory 

of the Eternal One.
3 For God will show your splendor 

to every being under Heaven.
4 He will call your name forever, 

“Peace in Justice” and 

“Glory in the Fear of the Lord.”
5 Rise up, Jerusalem, 

stand on the heights. 

Look towards the East and see

  your children gathered together 

from the setting of the sun to its rising, 

by the voice of the Holy One, 

rejoicing because God has remembered them.
