Excerpt from The Garment of Praise

According to Isaiah's prophecy, the good tidings which the anointed One came to proclaim would bring the captive'out of the prison-house into such safety and joy and freedom that the sackcloth would be exchanged for the festive purple. To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

To show the depth of the transformation, the prophet changes the figure' at once to one illustrating life and growth, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
