  3. Oaks of Righteousness “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,    because the Lord has anointed meto bring good news to the poor;    he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim liberty to the captives,    and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,     and the day of vengeance of our God;    to comfort all who mourn;to grant to those who mourn in Zion—     to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,the oil of gladness instead of mourning,    the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;that they may be called oaks of righteousness,    the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” Isaiah 61:1-3
