^2 (A)To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And ^(B)the day of vengeance of our God;
^(C)To comfort all who mourn,

³ To ^[a]console those who mourn in Zion,
^(A)To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
^(B)The planting of the Lord, ^(C)that He may be glorified.”

^4 (A)Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
