Yeshayah 61:2-4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 To proclaim the Shnat Ratzon L’Hashem (the year of the L-rd’s favor and grace), and the Yom Nakam L’Eloheinu (our G-d’s Day of Vengeance); to comfort all the avelim (mourners);
3 To grant unto Avelei Tziyon (Mourners of Zion), giving unto them a flower wreath instead of ashes, the shemen sasson (oil of joy) instead of avel (mourning), the garment of tehillah (praise) for the ruach of keheh (fainting, a heavy spirit); that they might be called Eilei HaTzedek (Oaks of Righteousness), the planting of Hashem, that He might be glorified.
4 And they shall rebuild charvot olam (the old ruins), they shall raise up the shomemot rishonim (former desolations), and they shall make new the cities of chorev (ruin), the shomemot (desolations) dor vador.

Isaiah 61:2-4
New International Version
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor(A)
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.
