Isaiah 61:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 to give[a] for those in mourning in Zion,
to give them a head wrap instead of ashes,
the oil of joy instead of mourning,
a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit.
And they will be called[b] oaks of righteousness,
the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.
4 And they shall build the ancient ruins,
they shall erect the former deserted places.
And they shall restore the devastated cities,[c]
the deserted places of many generations.[d]
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,[e]
and foreigners[f] shall be your farmers and vinedressers.
