Isaiah 4
4
1When that time comes, seven women will grab hold of one man and say, “We can feed and clothe ourselves, but please let us say you are our husband, so that we won't have to endure the shame of being unmarried.”
Jerusalem will be Restored
2The time is coming when the LORD will make every plant and tree in the land grow large and beautiful. All the people of Israel who survive will take delight and pride in the crops that the land produces. 3Everyone who is left in Jerusalem, whom God has chosen for survival, will be called holy. 4By his power the Lord will judge and purify the nation and wash away the guilt of Jerusalem and the blood that has been shed there. 5#Ex 13.21; 24.16Then over Mount Zion and over all who are gathered there, the LORD will send a cloud in the daytime and smoke and a bright flame at night. God's glory will cover and protect the whole city. 6His glory will shade the city from the heat of the day and make it a place of safety, sheltered from the rain and storm.

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.
