To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,

To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."
