Isaiah 4

New International Version

4 ¹In that day^(A) seven women
    will take hold of one man^(B)
and say, “We will eat our own food^(C)
    and provide our own clothes;
only let us be called by your name.
    Take away our disgrace!”^(D)

The Branch of the Lord

²In that day^(E) the Branch of the Lord^(F) will be beautiful^(G) and glorious, and the fruit^(H) of the land will be the pride and glory^(I) of the survivors^(J) in Israel. ³Those who are left in Zion,^(K) who remain^(L) in Jerusalem, will be called holy,^(M) all who are recorded^(N) among the living in Jerusalem. ⁴The Lord will wash away the filth^(O) of the women of Zion;^(P) he will cleanse^(Q) the bloodstains^(R) from Jerusalem by a spirit^[a] of judgment^(S) and a spirit^[b] of fire.^(T) ⁵Then the Lord will create^(U) over all of Mount Zion^(V) and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night;^(W) over everything the glory^[c]^(X) will be a canopy.^(Y) ⁶It will be a shelter^(Z) and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge^(AA) and hiding place from the storm^(AB) and rain.
