2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,b

and the day of our God’s vengeance;c

to comfortd all who mourn,

3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion;

to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,

festive oil instead of mourning,e

and splendid clothes instead of despair.B

And they will be called righteous trees,

planted by the Lord

to glorify him.f
