Isaiah 4

Isaiah 4

1Seven women shall take hold of one man on that day, saying,[#Isa 13.12; 54.4; 2 Thess 3.12]

“We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes;

just let us be called by your name;

take away our disgrace.”

The Future Glory of the Survivors in Zion

2On that day the branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and glory of the survivors of Israel.[#Ps 72.16; Isa 10.20; 11.1; Zech 3.8; 6.12]

3Whoever is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem,[#Isa 28.5; 52.1; 60.21; Lk 10.20]

4once the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning.[#Isa 1.15; 3.16, 24; 28.6; Mal 3.2, 3]

5Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over its places of assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night. Indeed, over all the glory there will be a canopy.[#Ex 13.21; Isa 60.1, 2]

6It will serve as a pavilion, a shade by day from the heat and a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.[#Isa 25.4]
