³ He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams^[a]
that bears its fruit in its season,^(A)
and its leaf does not wither.^(B)
Whatever he does prospers.^(C)

³ to provide for those who mourn in Zion;
to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
festive oil instead of mourning,^(A)
and splendid clothes instead of despair.^[a]
And they will be called righteous trees,
planted by the Lord
to glorify him.^(B)
