to console the mourners in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

(3) To grant to those mourning in Zion,
Laying on them a beautiful garland instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness for mourning,
The robe of praise for the fainting spirit,
They will be named, "Oaks of Righteousness",
The planting of YAHWEH for His glory.
