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.

  1. Isaiah 4:2 Lit beautiful glory

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.
