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。

Jerusalem’s Glorious Future

And (A)in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,
“We will (B)eat our own food and wear our own apparel;
Only let us be called by your name,
To take away (C)our reproach.”

The Renewal of Zion

In that day (D)the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious;
And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing
For those of Israel who have escaped.

And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem (E)will be called holy—everyone who is (F)recorded among the living in Jerusalem. When (G)the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the [a]blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, (H)a cloud and smoke by day and (I)the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a [b]covering. And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, (J)for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.

  1. Isaiah 4:4 bloodshed
  2. Isaiah 4:5 canopy

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.
