Isaiah 61:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

³ to order in Zion those that mourn, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

⁴ ¶ And they shall build the old wastes; they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall restore the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
