Isaiah 4

  1. 1

    Seven women will grab hold of one man at that time. They will say, “We will provide our own food, we will provide our own clothes; but let us belong to you— take away our shame!”

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    At that time the Lord will wash the excrement from Zion’s women, he will rinse the bloodstains from Jerusalem’s midst, as he comes to judge and to bring devastation.

  5. 5

    Then the Lord will create over all Mount Zion and over its convocations a cloud and smoke by day and a bright flame of fire by night; indeed a canopy will accompany the Lord’s glorious presence.

  6. 6

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