Isaiah 4:1-5:7
New International Version
4 1 In that day(A) seven women
will take hold of one man(B)
and say, “We will eat our own food(C)
and provide our own clothes;
only let us be called by your name.
Take away our disgrace!”(D)
The Branch of the Lord
2 In that day(E) the Branch of the Lord(F) will be beautiful(G) and glorious, and the fruit(H) of the land will be the pride and glory(I) of the survivors(J) in Israel. 3 Those who are left in Zion,(K) who remain(L) in Jerusalem, will be called holy,(M) all who are recorded(N) among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth(O) of the women of Zion;(P) he will cleanse(Q) the bloodstains(R) from Jerusalem by a spirit[a] of judgment(S) and a spirit[b] of fire.(T) 5 Then the Lord will create(U) over all of Mount Zion(V) and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night;(W) over everything the glory[c](X) will be a canopy.(Y) 6 It will be a shelter(Z) and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge(AA) and hiding place from the storm(AB) and rain.
The Song of the Vineyard
5 I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:(AC)
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.(AD)
He built a watchtower(AE) in it
and cut out a winepress(AF) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.(AG)
3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.(AH)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?(AI)
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?(AJ)
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;(AK)
I will break down its wall,(AL)
and it will be trampled.(AM)
6 I will make it a wasteland,(AN)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(AO) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(AP) on it.”
