(A)And seven women (B)shall take hold of (C)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; (D)take away our reproach.”

The Branch of the Lord Glorified

In that day (E)the branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and (F)the fruit of the land shall be the pride and honor of the survivors of Israel. (G)And he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called (H)holy, everyone who has (I)been recorded for life in Jerusalem, when (J)the Lord shall have washed away the filth of (K)the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgment and by (L)a spirit of burning.[a] Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies (M)a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be (N)a canopy. (O)There will be a (P)booth for shade by day from the heat, and (Q)for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.

  1. Isaiah 4:4 Or purging

In quel giorno sette donne afferreranno un uomo e diranno: «Noi mangeremo il nostro pane, ci vestiremo delle nostre vesti; facci solo portare il tuo nome! Togli via da noi il disonore!»

Purificazione e gloria d’Israele

(A)In quel giorno il germoglio del Signore sarà lo splendore e la gloria degli scampati d’Israele, e il frutto della terra sarà il loro vanto e il loro ornamento.

Avverrà che i sopravvissuti di Sion e i superstiti di Gerusalemme saranno chiamati santi: chiunque, cioè, in Gerusalemme sarà iscritto tra i vivi,

una volta che il Signore avrà lavato le brutture delle figlie di Sion, e avrà purificato Gerusalemme dal sangue che vi è stato sparso, con il soffio del giudizio e con il soffio dello sterminio.

Il Signore creerà su tutta la distesa del monte Sion e sulle sue assemblee una nuvola di fumo per il giorno e uno splendore di fuoco fiammeggiante per la notte; perché su tutta la gloria vi sarà un padiglione.

Ci sarà un riparo per fare ombra di giorno e proteggere dal caldo, e per servire di rifugio e di asilo durante la tempesta e la pioggia.

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

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. 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. 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) 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) 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.
