Verse 3
Isaiah 61:3
World English Bible
3
to provide for those who mourn in Zion,
to give to them a garland for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they may be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of Yahweh,
that he may be glorified.

To place on the mourners of Zion to give them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit, and call them oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord for His glory.
