³ To ^(A)grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The ^(B)oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.
So they will be called ^[a](C)oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

¹⁷ Then you will ^(A)know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling in Zion, My ^(B)holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be ^(C)holy,
And ^(D)strangers will pass through it no more.

“^(A)Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a ^(B)precious corner stone,
And he who believes in ^[b]Him will not be ^[c]disappointed.”
