O ruins of Jerusalem!
For the Lord consoles his people;
he protects 1 Jerusalem.
Zefanya 3:14

Shout out, Israel!
Be happy and boast with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem!

for they taunted and verbally harassed 4 the people of the Lord who commands armies.
Yesaya 61:2-3
Konteks61:2 to announce the year when the Lord will show his favor,
the day when our God will seek vengeance, 5
to console all who mourn,
61:3 to strengthen those who mourn in Zion,
by giving them a turban, instead of ashes,
oil symbolizing joy, 6 instead of mourning,
a garment symbolizing praise, 7 instead of discouragement. 8
They will be called oaks of righteousness, 9
trees planted by the Lord to reveal his splendor. 10
[52:9] 1 tn Or “redeems.” See the note at 41:14.
[3:14] 2 sn This phrase is used as an epithet for the city and the nation. “Daughter” may seem extraneous in English but consciously joins the various epithets and metaphors of Israel and Jerusalem as a woman, a device used to evoke sympathy from the reader.
[2:10] 3 tn Heb “this is for them in place of their arrogance.”
[2:10] 4 tn Heb “made great [their mouth?] against” (cf. the last phrase of v. 8).
[61:2] 5 tn Heb “to announce the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of our God’s vengeance.
[61:3] 6 tn Heb “oil of joy” (KJV, ASV); NASB, NIV, NRSV “the oil of gladness.”
[61:3] 7 tn Heb “garment of praise.”
[61:3] 8 tn Heb “a faint spirit” (so NRSV); KJV, ASV “the spirit of heaviness”; NASB “a spirit of fainting.”
[61:3] 9 tn Rather than referring to the character of the people, צֶדֶק (tsedeq) may carry the nuance “vindication” here, suggesting that God’s restored people are a testimony to his justice. See v. 2, which alludes to the fact that God will take vengeance against the enemies of his people. Cf. NAB “oaks of justice.”
[61:3] 10 tn Heb “a planting of the Lord to reveal splendor.”
