Isaiah 4

New International Version

1 In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, ‘We will eat our own food and provide our own clothes; only let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!’ 



2 In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. 3 Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit[1] of judgment and a spirit[2] of fire. 5 Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory[3] will be a canopy. 6 It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding-place from the storm and rain.

Isaiah 4

English Standard Version

1 And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach.” (Ge 30:23; Isa 3:6; Isa 13:12) 



2 In that day the branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and honor of the survivors of Israel. (Isa 27:6; Jer 23:5; Jer 33:15; Zec 3:8; Zec 6:12) 3 And he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem, (Ex 32:32; Ps 69:28; Isa 6:13; Isa 10:20; Ob 1:17; Lu 10:20; Heb 12:23) 4 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning.[1] (Isa 3:16; Isa 33:14; Eze 36:25; Mal 3:2; Mt 3:11; Lu 3:17) 5 Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy. (Ex 13:21; Re 7:15) 6 There will be a booth for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain. (Ps 27:5; Isa 25:4)
