Isaiah 61:3
3to grant to those who mourn in Zion—ito give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
jthe oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
kthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, lthat he may be glorified. ▼
▼Or that he may display his beauty
Isaiah 66:10-14
10 n“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her,all you who love her;
rejoice with her in joy,
all you who mourn over her;
11that you may nurse and be satisfied
from her consoling breast;
that you may drink deeply with delight
from her glorious abundance.” ▼
▼Or breast
12 For thus says the Lord:
p“Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,
and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;
and qyou shall nurse, you shall be carried upon her hip,
and bounced upon her knees.
13As one whom his mother comforts,
so rI will comfort you;
you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
syour bones shall flourish like the grass;
and tthe hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants,
and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.
