Isaiah 4

Restoration Promised After Ruin

Open in the reader →

1And seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothing; only let your name be called over us. Take away our reproach.”

2In that day the branch of Yahweh will be for beauty and for glory, and the fruit of the land for majesty and for splendor, for the survivors of Israel.

3And it shall be that whoever remains in Zion and whoever is left in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem.

4when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst by a spirit of justice and by a spirit of burning.

5Then Yahweh will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy.

6And there will be a shelter for shade by day from heat, and for a refuge and a hiding place from storm and from rain.
