Isaiah 61:3

3 	to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
		to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
	the doil of gladness instead of mourning,
		the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
	that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
		the eplanting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.1
