Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing. Just let us be called by your name. Take away our reproach.”

In that day, Yahweh’s branch will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel. It will happen that he who is left in Zion and he who remains in Jerusalem shall be called holy, even everyone who 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 within it, by the spirit of justice and by the spirit of burning. Yahweh will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all the glory will be a canopy. There will be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge and for a shelter from storm and from rain.

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.
