Baruch 5:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 For God has commanded
that every lofty mountain
and the age-old hills be made low,
That the valleys be filled to make level ground,
that Israel may advance securely in the glory of God.(A)
8 The forests and every kind of fragrant tree
have overshadowed Israel at God’s command;(B)
9 For God is leading Israel in joy
by the light of his glory,
with the mercy and justice that are his.
