The .v. Chapter.

1 Hierusalem is moued vnto gladnesse for the returne of her people, and vnder the figure therof, the church.

[unspec A] 1 PVT 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 righteous∣nesse vpon thee, & set a crowne of euer∣lasting 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 thee of God, with peace of righteous∣nesse, 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 cast vnto the west, whiche reioyce in the holy worde, hauing God in remem∣braunce.

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 king∣dome.

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 commaun∣dement of God.

9 For hyther shal God bring Israel with ioyfull mirth, and in the light of his ma∣iestie, with the mercie and righteous∣nesse that commeth of him selfe.
