Isaiah 4
Chapter 4
1 In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, “Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”
A Promise of Restoration
2 But in that day, the brancht of the LORD
will be beautiful and glorious;
the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory
of all who survive in Israel.3 All who remain in Zion
will be a holy people—
those who survive the destruction of Jerusalem
and are recorded among the living.4 The Lord will wash the filth from beautiful Ziont
and cleanse Jerusalem of its bloodstains
with the hot breath of fiery judgment.5 Then the LORD will provide shade for Mount Zion
and all who assemble there.
He will provide a canopy of cloud during the day
and smoke and flaming fire at night,
covering the glorious land.6 It will be a shelter from daytime heat
and a hiding place from storms and rain.
ISAIAH 4
1 When this happens, seven women will grab the same man, and each of them will say, “I'll buy my own food and clothes! Just marry me and take away my disgrace.”tThe [Lord] Will Bless //His People Who Survive
2 The time is coming when the [Lord] will make his land fruitful and glorious again, and the people of Israel who survive will take great pride in what the land produces. 3 Everyone who is left alive in Jerusalem will be called special,
4 after the [Lord] sends a fiery judgment to clean the city and its people of their violent deeds.
5 t Then the [Lord] will cover the whole city and its meeting places with a thick cloud each day and with a flaming firet each night. God's own glory will be like a huge tent that covers everything. 6 It will provide shade from the heat of the sun and a place of shelter and protection from storms and rain.
