New International Version
The Branch of the Lord
2 In that day(A) the Branch of the Lord(B) will be beautiful(C) and glorious, and the fruit(D) of the land will be the pride and glory(E) of the survivors(F) in Israel. 3 Those who are left in Zion,(G) who remain(H) in Jerusalem, will be called holy,(I) all who are recorded(J) among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth(K) of the women of Zion;(L) he will cleanse(M) the bloodstains(N) from Jerusalem by a spirit[a] of judgment(O) and a spirit[b] of fire.(P) 5 Then the Lord will create(Q) over all of Mount Zion(R) and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night;(S) over everything the glory[c](T) will be a canopy.(U) 6 It will be a shelter(V) and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge(W) and hiding place from the storm(X) and rain.
The Song of the Vineyard
5 I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:(Y)
My loved one had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside.
2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones
and planted it with the choicest vines.(Z)
He built a watchtower(AA) in it
and cut out a winepress(AB) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.(AC)
3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.(AD)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?(AE)
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?(AF)
5 Now I will tell you
what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it will be destroyed;(AG)
I will break down its wall,(AH)
and it will be trampled.(AI)
6 I will make it a wasteland,(AJ)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(AK) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(AL) on it.”

King James Version
Isaiah 4:2-5:7
King James Version
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.
5 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
