Isaiah 4

   |   

1 And seven women shall grasp at one man on that day, saying,
"We will eat our own bread,
    and we will wear our own clothing;
only let us be called by your name![a]
    Take away our disgrace!"

The Glory of the Branch of Yahweh

2 On that day the branch of Yahweh shall become beautiful and glorious,
    and the fruit of the land shall become the pride and glory of the survivors[b] of Israel.
3 And this shall happen: He who is left in Zion
    and he who remains in Jerusalem will be called holy,
        everyone written for life in Jerusalem,
4 when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion
    and cleansed the blood of Jerusalem from her midst
by a spirit of judgment
    and by a spirit of burning.
5 Then Yahweh will create over all of the site[c] of Mount Zion[d]
    and over her assembly a cloud by day
    and smoke and the brightness of flaming fire by night.
Indeed, over all the glory there will be a canopy,
6     and it will be a shelter for shade from the heat by day,
    and a refuge and a hiding place from rainstorm and from rain.
