_ _ beauty for ashes — There is a play on the sound and meaning of the Hebrew words, peer, epher, literally, “ornamental headdress” or tiara (Ezekiel 24:17), worn in times of joy, instead of a headdress of “ashes,” cast on the head in mourning (2 Samuel 13:19).

Called — That they may be so. Trees — That they shall be firm, solid, and well rooted, being by faith engrafted into Christ, and bringing forth fruit suitable to the soil wherein they are planted. |
