- 61:3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give them a festive turban in place of ashes, the oil of rejoicing in place of grief, a cloak of praise in place of a spirit burning low. They will be named oaks of righteousness, planted by the LORD to show his beauty. 13
- 61:2 to announce a year when the LORD shows favor and a day when our God takes vengeance, to console all who grieve, 6

- 61:10 My joy in the LORD overflows; my whole being delights in my God. He has dressed me in clothing of salvation and wrapped me in a cloak of righteousness, like a bridegroom wearing a turban as a priest does, like a bride decked out in her jewels. 3
- 61:5 Outsiders will stand ready to pasture your flocks, and people from foreign lands will plow your fields and tend your vines. 1
- 61:7 In place of your shame you will have a double share; instead of disgrace they will sing out over what is given them. So in their own land they will take possession of a double share, and joy that never ends will belong to them. 1
- 61:8 For I, the LORD, am a lover of justice and I hate robbery joined to wrongdoing. I will pay them their wages faithfully and make a covenant with them that lasts forever. 1
- 61:9 Their children will be famous among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples. Anyone who sees them will recognize them as a line of children whom the LORD has blessed. 1
