Isaiah 61:3
3to grant to those who mourn in Zion—ato give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
bthe oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
cthat they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, dthat he may be glorified. ▼
▼Or that he may display his beauty
Isaiah 65:18
18But be glad and rejoice foreverin that which I create;
for behold, fI create Jerusalem to be a joy,
and her people to be a gladness.

13As one whom his mother comforts,so gI will comfort you;
you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
14You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
hyour bones shall flourish like the grass;
and ithe hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants,
and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.
