那時,七個女人將拉著一個男人,說:「我們會負責自己的吃穿,只求你娶我們,讓我們歸在你名下,好除掉我們嫁不出去的羞辱。」

耶路撒冷的復興

到那日,耶和華的苗必長得茂盛華美,這地方的出產必成為以色列倖存者的驕傲和光榮。 3-4 主必以公義的靈和焚燒的靈洗淨錫安的污穢,清除耶路撒冷的血跡。所有錫安剩餘的人,即留在耶路撒冷、名字記錄在生命冊上的人都將被稱為聖潔之民。 耶和華必在日間用煙雲遮蔽整個錫安山和那裡的會眾,在夜間用火光照亮他們。祂的榮耀必遮蓋一切, 是白日避暑的亭子,是躲避狂風暴雨的避難所和藏身處。

And seven women shall grasp at one man on that day, saying,
“We will eat our own bread,
    and we will wear our own clothing;
only let us be called by your name![a]
    Take away our disgrace!”

The Glory of the Branch of Yahweh

On that day the branch of Yahweh shall become beautiful and glorious,
    and the fruit of the land shall become the pride and glory of the survivors[b] of Israel.
And this shall happen: He who is left in Zion
    and he who remains in Jerusalem will be called holy,
        everyone written for life in Jerusalem,
when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion
    and cleansed the blood of Jerusalem from her midst
by a spirit of judgment
    and by a spirit of burning.
Then Yahweh will create over all of the site[c] of Mount Zion[d]
    and over her assembly a cloud by day
    and smoke and the brightness of flaming fire by night.
Indeed, over all the glory there will be a canopy,
    and it will be a shelter for shade from the heat by day,
    and a refuge and a hiding place from rainstorm and from rain.

The Future Glory of the Survivors in Zion

On that day the branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and glory of the survivors of Israel. Whoever is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem, once the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgement and by a spirit of burning. Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over its places of assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night. Indeed, over all the glory there will be a canopy. It will serve as a pavilion, a shade by day from the heat, and a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.
