Isaiah 4
Legacy Standard Bible
4 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
2 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. 3 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. 4 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, 5 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. 6 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.

Isaiah 4
New Living Translation
4 In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, “Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”
A Promise of Restoration
2 But in that day, the branch[a] of the Lord
will be beautiful and glorious;
the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory
of all who survive in Israel.
3 All who remain in Zion
will be a holy people—
those who survive the destruction of Jerusalem
and are recorded among the living.
4 The Lord will wash the filth from beautiful Zion[b]
and cleanse Jerusalem of its bloodstains
with the hot breath of fiery judgment.
5 Then the Lord will provide shade for Mount Zion
and all who assemble there.
He will provide a canopy of cloud during the day
and smoke and flaming fire at night,
covering the glorious land.
6 It will be a shelter from daytime heat
and a hiding place from storms and rain.
