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

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins;g

they will restore the former devastations;

they will renew the ruined cities,

the devastations of many generations.
