Isaiah 61:2-4
Complete Jewish Bible
2 to proclaim the year of the favor of Adonai
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn,
3 yes, provide for those in Tziyon who mourn,
giving them garlands instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
a cloak of praise instead of a heavy spirit,
so that they will be called oaks of righteousness
planted by Adonai, in which he takes pride.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins,
restore sites long destroyed;
they will renew the ruined cities,
destroyed many generations ago.

and the day of vengeance(B) of our God,
to comfort(C) all who mourn,(D)
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown(E) of beauty
instead of ashes,(F)
the oil(G) of joy
instead of mourning,(H)
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting(I) of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.(J)
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins(K)
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
