Isaiah 4

Isaiah 4

1Seven women will grab one man on that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes—only let us take your name; take away our disgrace.”

Zion’s glorious future

2On that day, the LORD ’s branch will become beautiful and glorious. The earth’s fruit will be the pride and splendor of Israel’s survivors.

3Whoever remains in Zion and is left in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who is on the list of those living in Jerusalem.

4When the Lord washes the filth from Zion’s daughters, and cleanses Jerusalem’s bloodguilt from within it by means of a wind of judgment and a searing wind,

5then the LORD will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over its assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the light of a blazing fire by night. Over all the glory there will be a canopy,

6which will be a booth by day for shade from the heat and a hiding place and shelter from a stormy downpour.
