Isaiah 61:2-4

New Living Translation

² He has sent me to tell those who mourn
    that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,^[a]
    and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
³ To all who mourn in Israel,^[b]
    he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
    festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
    that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
