Isa. 61:3 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Isa. 61:2      Isa. 61:4

Isaiah 61:3

strengthen those who mourn in Zion,
give them a headdress [beautifully decorated headdress for celebration and joy]
instead of ashes [which were thrown on the head in times of mourning],
oil of joy
instead of mourning,
festive clothing for praise
instead of gloom (a heavy spirit).
They shall be called the terebinths of righteousness [a strong, durable type of wood],
planted by the Lord (Yahweh) to glorify him.
[In Hebr., there is a play on words between head covering (Hebr. peer) and ashes (Hebr. efer). Both words have the same consonants but different sequences, and thus different vowels. The word for head covering comes from the root paar, which means "to honor."]
