And seven women will take hold of (A)one man in 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 reproach!”

The Branch of Yahweh Glorified

In that day the (C)Branch of Yahweh will be beautiful and glorious, and the (D)fruit of the earth will be the pride and the [a]honor of (E)those of Israel who escape. It will be that he who (F)remains in Zion and is left in Jerusalem will be called (G)holy—everyone who is (H)written down for life in Jerusalem. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the (I)daughters of Zion and rinsed away the (J)bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the (K)spirit of judgment and the (L)spirit of burning, then Yahweh will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her convocation (M)a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the (N)glory will be a canopy. And there will be a (O)booth to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and a hiding place from the storm and the rain.

The Branch of the Lord Will Be Beautiful

On that day, the Branch[a] of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel. Then whoever is left in Zion and whoever remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, that is, everyone who is registered for life in Jerusalem. The Lord will wash away the disgusting filth[b] of the daughters of Zion and cleanse the blood of Jerusalem from its midst by the Spirit[c] of judgment and by the Spirit of burning. Then over the entire site[d] of Mount Zion and over her assemblies, the Lord will create a cloud of smoke by day and a bright flaming fire by night, so there will be a canopy over all the glory. In the daytime there will be a shelter to provide shade from the heat and to provide refuge and a hiding place from the storm and the rain.
