  • Isaiah 61:3
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  3 To provide for those mourning over Zion,

      To give them a headdress instead of ashes,

      The oil of exultation instead of mourning,

      The garment of praise instead of a despondent spirit.

      And they will be called big trees of righteousness,

      The planting of Jehovah, in order to glorify* him.+
