Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

2 To proclaim a year of acceptance for the LORD, and a day of vengeance for our God; to comfort all mourners

3 To appoint for the mourners of Zion, to give unto them. a garland instead of ashes, the Oil of gladness instead Of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; and they shall be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may beautify himself.

4 And they shall build up ruins of old time; they shall raise up desolations of the first days; and they shall restore ruined cities, desolations of generation upon generation.

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and aliens shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

6 And ye shall be called the Priests of the LORD; men shall say of you, The Ministers of our God; ye shall eat the wealth of nations, and in their glory shall ye boast.

7 Instead of your shame, (ye shall have) twofold; and as for confusion, they shall sing of their portion; therefore in their land they shall possess twofold; everlasting joy shall be unto them
