Isaiah 61:3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 to place on those who mourn in Zion
a diadem instead of ashes,
To give them oil of gladness instead of mourning,
a glorious mantle instead of a faint spirit.
Restoration and Blessing
They will be called oaks of justice,
the planting of the Lord to show his glory.
Psalm 1:3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 He is like a tree(A)
planted near streams of water,
that yields its fruit in season;
Its leaves never wither;
whatever he does prospers.
