² to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
    and the day of vengeance of our God,
    to comfort all who mourn,^(A)

³ to provide for those who mourn in Zion—
    to give them a garland instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
    the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
    the planting of the Lord, to display his glory.^(A)
