Isaiah 61:3
New American Standard Bible
3 To (A)grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The (B)oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The cloak of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called [a](C)oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
