Isaiah 61

2 to declare the year of the Lord’s grace and the day of our God’s punishment,*61:2. Notice that the Lord’s grace lasts for a year, while his punishment lasts for just one day. to comfort those who mourn. 3 The Lord will give to everyone who mourns in Zion a crown instead of ashes on their head, the oil of happiness instead of mourning, clothes of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of integrity, planted by the Lord to reveal his glory.
