61:3to strengthen those who mourn in Zion,
by giving them a turban, instead of ashes,
oil symbolizing joy,7 instead of mourning,
a garment symbolizing praise,8 instead of discouragement.9
They will be called oaks of righteousness,10
trees planted by the Lord to reveal his splendor.11
Footnotes
- 7 Heb “oil of joy” (, ); , , “the oil of gladness.”
- 8 Heb “garment of praise.”
- 9 Heb “a faint spirit” (so ); , “the spirit of heaviness”; “a spirit of fainting.”
- 10 Rather than referring to the character of the people, צֶדֶק (tsedeq) may carry the nuance “vindication” here, suggesting that God’s restored people are a testimony to his justice. See v. 2, which alludes to the fact that God will take vengeance against the enemies of his people. Cf. “oaks of justice.”
- 11 Heb “a planting of the Lord to reveal splendor.”
