enemies: but God bringeth them unto thee exalted with glory, as
children of the kingdom.

overshadow Israel by the commandment of God.

the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him.
The Epistle [or Letter] of Jeremiah [Jeremy]
[The Epistle of Jeremy [sometimes Chapter Six of Baruch]]
6:1 A copy of an epistle, which Jeremy sent unto them which were to be
led captives into Babylon by the king of the Babylonians, to certify
them, as it was commanded him of God.
6:2 Because of the sins which ye have committed before God, ye shall be
led away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor king of the
Babylonians.
6:3 So when ye be come unto Babylon, ye shall remain there many years,
and for a long season, namely, seven generations: and after that I will
bring you away peaceably from thence.
6:4 Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, and of
wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to fear.
