When that day comes, seven women will grab one man and say,
    “We’ll eat our own food and provide our own clothes.
        Just let us marry you for your name.
            Take away our disgrace.”

The Lord’s New Glory for Zion

When that day comes, the branch of Yahweh
    will be beautiful and wonderful.
        The fruit of the land
            will be the pride and joy of Israel’s survivors.

Then whoever is left in Zion and whoever remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. Adonay will wash away the filth of Zion’s people.[a] He will clean bloodstains from Jerusalem with a spirit of judgment and a spirit of burning. Yahweh will create a cloud of smoke during the day and a glowing flame of fire during the night over the whole area of Mount Zion and over the assembly. His glory will cover everything. It will be a shelter from the heat during the day as well as a refuge and hiding place from storms and rain.
