CHAPTER 4
On that
day
seven
women
will take hold
of one
man
and say,
“We will eat
our own bread
and provide
our own clothes.
Just
let us be called
by your name.
Take away
our disgrace!”
On 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 Israel’s
survivors.
Whoever remains
in Zion
and whoever is left
in Jerusalem
will be called
holy—
all
in Jerusalem
who are recorded
among the living—
when
the Lord
has washed away
the filth
of the daughters
of Zion
and cleansed
the bloodstains
from the heart
of Jerusalem
by a spirit
of judgment
and a spirit
of fire.
Then the LORD
will create
over
all
of Mount
Zion
and over
her assemblies
a cloud
of smoke
by day
and a glowing
flame
of fire
by night.
For
over
all
the glory
there will be a canopy,
a shelter
to give shade
from the heat
by day,
and a refuge
and hiding place
from the storm
and the rain.
