Isaiah 4
1599 Geneva Bible
4 1 The small remnant of men after the destruction of Jerusalem. 2 The graces of God upon them that remain.
1 And in that day shall [a]seven women take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and we will wear our own garments: only [b]let us be called by thy name, and take away our [c]reproach.
2 In that day shall the [d]bud of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and pleasant for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 Then he that shall be left in Zion, and he that shall remain in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, and every one shall be [e]written among the living in Jerusalem,
4 When the Lord shall wash the filthiness of the daughters of Zion, and purge the [f]blood of Jerusalem out of the midst thereof by the spirit of [g]judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 And the Lord shall create upon every place of mount Zion, and upon the assemblies thereof, [h]a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the [i]glory shall be a defense.
6 And a covering shall be for a shadow in the day for the heat, and a place of refuge and a covert for the storm [j]and for the rain.

And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing
For those of Israel who have escaped.
3 And 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. 4 When (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, 5 then 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. 6 And 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.
