Isaiah 61:3-6

³to console the mourners in Zion —

to give them a crown of beauty for ashes,

the oil of joy for mourning,

and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair.

So they will be called oaks of righteousness,

the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

⁴They will rebuild the ancient ruins;

they will restore the places long devastated;

they will renew the ruined cities,

the desolations of many generations.

⁵Strangers will stand and feed your flocks,

and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.

⁶But you will be called the priests of the LORD;

they will speak of you as ministers of our God;

you will feed on the wealth of nations,

and you will boast in their riches.

— Isaiah 61:3-6
