Isaiah 4

4 In that day, seven women will catch one man and they will hold him. They will say, ‘Please take away our shame. We will buy our own food and we will wear our own clothes. But please, let us belong to you.’

Good news

2 In that day, the branch of the Lord will be great and beautiful. The land will give fruit and crops. Those people who remain in Israel will be proud and happy because of the food that the land supplies. 3 Everyone who remains in Zion and Jerusalem will be called holy. All their names will be on a list of Jerusalem's people who live there. 4 At that time, the Lord God will wash away the dirt from Zion's women. He will make Jerusalem clean from the blood that murderers have left. He will do that as judge, and he will punish people as with fire. 5 The Lord himself will be above all of Mount Zion, and over all the people who meet together there. There will be cloud and smoke over them during the day. There will be bright flames of fire at night. The Lord 's glory will cover over them all. 6 During the day, it will give people shade from the sun's heat. It will also keep them safe from storms and heavy rain.

4 At that time seven women will grab one man and say, “Please marry us! We will supply our own food and make our own clothes. You won’t have to do anything else if you let us wear your name and take away our shame.”

2 At that time the Lord ’s plant [ a ] will be very beautiful and glorious. The people in Israel who survived will be very proud of what the land grows. 3 And all those who are left in Zion and Jerusalem will be called holy. Their names were on the list of people in Jerusalem who were allowed to live.

4 The Lord will wash away the filth [ b ] from the daughters of Zion. [ c ] He will wash away the blood from Jerusalem. With a spirit of judgment that burns like fire, he will make everything pure. 5 Then the Lord will create a cloud of smoke in the day and a bright flame of fire [ d ] at night over every building and over every meeting of the people on the mountain of Zion. And there will be a covering over everyone [ e ] for protection. 6 It will be a shelter to protect the people from the heat of the sun and from all kinds of storms and rain.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 4:2 the Lord ’s plant This might refer to the country of Judah or to the future king or Messiah. See Isa. 5:7.
  2. Isaiah 4:4 wash away the filth This is like a special ceremony for washing away the blood after a menstrual period. After this a man and wife could have sexual relations.
  3. Isaiah 4:4 daughters of Zion This can refer either to the small towns around Jerusalem or to the women living there.
  4. Isaiah 4:5 cloud of smoke … fire The signs God used to show that he was with his people.
  5. Isaiah 4:5 everyone Literally, “glory,” but this can also mean “soul” or “person.” See Ps. 16:9.

4 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

2 In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:

4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

5 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.

6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

A Remnant Prepared

4 For seven women will take hold of ( A ) one man on that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; ( B ) take away our disgrace!”

2 On that day the ( C ) Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the ( D ) fruit of the earth will be the pride and the beauty of the ( E ) survivors of Israel. 3 And it will come about that the one who is ( F ) left in Zion and remains behind in Jerusalem will be called ( G ) holy—everyone who is ( H ) recorded for life in Jerusalem. 4 When the Lord has washed away the filth of the ( I ) daughters of Zion and [ a ] purged the ( J ) bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the ( K ) spirit of judgment and the ( L ) spirit of [ b ] burning, 5 then the Lord will create over the entire area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies ( M ) a cloud by day, and smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the ( N ) glory will be a canopy. 6 And there will be a ( O ) shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and [ c ] protection from the storm and the rain.
