3 To all those in Jerusalem who mourn,

he will give flower necklaces to wear;

instead of ashes that they put on their heads to show that they are sad;

he will cause them to rejoice [MTY] instead of being sad;

he will enable them to be [MET] happy instead of being discouraged.

They will be called "people who continually do what is right,

people who are like tall/strong oak trees that Yahweh has planted"

to show others that he is very great.
