to provide for those who mourn in Zion;
to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
festive oil instead of mourning,(A)
and splendid clothes instead of despair.[a]
And they will be called righteous trees,
planted by the Lord
to glorify him.(B)
They will rebuild the ancient ruins;(C)
they will restore the former devastations;
they will renew the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
Strangers will stand and feed your flocks,
and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.(D)
