Isaiah 4

New King James Version

Jerusalem’s Glorious Future

4 And ^(A)in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,
“We will ^(B)eat our own food and wear our own apparel;
Only let us be called by your name,
To take away ^(C)our reproach.”

The Renewal of Zion

²In that day ^(D)the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious;
And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing
For those of Israel who have escaped.

³And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem ^(E)will be called holy—everyone who is ^(F)recorded among the living in Jerusalem. ⁴When ^(G)the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the ^[a]blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, ⁵then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, ^(H)a cloud and smoke by day and ^(I)the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a ^[b]covering. ⁶And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, ^(J)for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.
