Isaiah 4
King James Version
4 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
2 In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
Isaiah 4
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.

Jesaja 4
Hoffnung für Alle
4 In dieser Zeit werden sieben Frauen einem Mann nachlaufen und ihn anflehen: »Heirate uns doch alle sieben! Für unser Essen und die Kleidung wollen wir selbst aufkommen. Wir möchten nur deinen Namen tragen. Erspar uns die Schande, keinen Mann und keine Kinder zu haben!«
Gott schenkt einen Neuanfang
2 Zu jener Zeit lässt der Herr alle Pflanzen sprießen und prächtig gedeihen; ja, das ganze Land blüht auf und bringt reiche Ernte.[a] Die Überlebenden in Israel werden sich daran freuen, sie können stolz darauf sein. 3 Alle, die noch in Jerusalem übrig geblieben sind, wird man dann ein »heiliges Volk« nennen. Gott selbst hat ihre Namen in einem Buch aufgeschrieben und sie zum Leben bestimmt. 4 Durch seinen Geist, der Gericht hält und wie ein Feuer brennt, hat der Herr die Einwohner[b] von Zion geläutert. So wie man Schmutz abwäscht, hat er sie von ihrer schweren Schuld befreit. 5 Der Herr wird etwas Neues schaffen: Den ganzen Berg Zion und alle, die sich dort versammeln, bedeckt er am Tag mit einer Rauchwolke und in der Nacht mit hellem Feuerschein. Es wird sein, als liege ein Schutzdach über diesem herrlichen Ort, 6 das Schatten bietet vor der Sonnenglut und Zuflucht vor Regen und Sturm.
