What does the phrase, "give them beauty for ashes" mean in Isaiah 61:3?
Isaiah 61:3
NLT - 3 To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
