Isaiah 4
4
IV
1And seven women shall lay hold on one man in that day, saying:
We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
Only let us be called by thy name,
To take away our reproach.
2In that day shall the Branch of Jehovah
Become beautiful and glorious;
And the fruit of the earth excellent and comely,
For the remnant saved of Israel.
3And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion,
And he that remaineth in Jerusalem,
Shall be called holy,
Even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem.
4When the Lord shall have Washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion;
And shall have wiped off the blood of Jerusalem from the midst of her,
By a spirit of judgment, and by a spirit of burning:
5Then shall Jehovah create upon every dwelling-place in mount Zion,
And upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day;
And the brightness of a flaming fire by night:
For upon all the glory there shall be a covering.
6And a tabernacle it shall be for a shade by day from the heat;
And for a place of refuge, and for a covert, from storm and from rain.

Isaiah 4
4
1In 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
2But in that day, the branch#4:2 Or the Branch. 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.
3All who remain in Zion
will be a holy people—
those who survive the destruction of Jerusalem
and are recorded among the living.
4The Lord will wash the filth from beautiful Zion#4:4 Or from the women of Zion; Hebrew reads from the daughters of Zion.
and cleanse Jerusalem of its bloodstains
with the hot breath of fiery judgment.
5Then 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.
6It will be a shelter from daytime heat
and a hiding place from storms and rain.
