11/01/14 (0438) BARUCH 4:30-37 (NAB) Jerusalem Consoled: The Captivity About to End Fear not, Jerusalem! He who gave you your name is your encouragement. Fearful are those who harmed you, who rejoiced at your downfall; Fearful are the cities where your children were enslaved, fearful the city that took your sons. As that city rejoiced at your collapse, and made merry at your downfall, so shall she grieve over her own desolation. I will take from her the joyous throngs, and her exultation shall be turned to mourning: For fire shall come upon her from the Eternal God, for a long time, and demons shall dwell in her from that time on. Look to the east, Jerusalem! behold the joy that comes to you from God. Here come your sons whom you once let go, gathered in from the east and from the west By the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God.
