Isaiah 4

1 When that day comes, seven women will grab one man and say,“We’ll eat our own food and provide our own clothes.Just let us marry you for your name.Take away our disgrace.”

The Lord’s New Glory for Zion

2 When that day comes, the branch of the Lordwill be beautiful and wonderful.The fruit of the landwill be the pride and joy of Israel’s survivors.3 Then whoever is left in Zion and whoever remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem.4 The Lord will wash away the filth of Zion’s people.t He will clean bloodstains from Jerusalem with a spirit of judgment and a spirit of burning.5 The Lord will create a cloud of smoke during the day and a glowing flame of fire during the night over the whole area of Mount Zion and over the assembly. His glory will cover everything.

6 It will be a shelter from the heat during the day as well as a refuge and hiding place from storms and rain.

Isaiah 4

1 Seven women will grab hold of
one man at that time.ts
They will say, “We will providet our own food,
we will providet our own clothes;
but let us belong to yout –
take away our shame!”s

The Branch of the Lord

2 At that timet
the crops given by the Lord will bring admiration and honor;t
the produce of the land will be a source of pride and delight
to those who remain in Israel.t

3 Those remaining in Zion,t those left in Jerusalem,s
will be called “holy,”t
all in Jerusalem who are destined to live.t

4 At that timet the sovereign mastert will wash the excrementt from Zion’s women,
he will rinse the bloodstains from Jerusalem’s midst,s
as he comes to judge
and to bring devastation.t

5 Then the Lord will create
over all of Mount Ziont
and over its convocations
a cloud and smoke by day
and a bright flame of fire by night;ts
indeed a canopy will accompany the Lord’s glorious presence.t

6 By day it will be a shelter to provide shade from the heat,
as well as safety and protection from the heavy downpour.t
