And seven women will take hold of (A)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; (B)take away our reproach!”

The Branch of Yahweh Glorified

In that day the (C)Branch of Yahweh will be beautiful and glorious, and the (D)fruit of the earth will be the pride and the [a]honor of (E)those of Israel who escape. It will be that he who (F)remains in Zion and is left in Jerusalem will be called (G)holy—everyone who is (H)written down for life in Jerusalem. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the (I)daughters of Zion and rinsed away the (J)bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the (K)spirit of judgment and the (L)spirit of burning, then Yahweh will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her convocation (M)a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the (N)glory will be a canopy. And there will be a (O)booth to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and a hiding place from the storm and the rain.

Zion’s glorious future

On that day, the Lord’s branch will become beautiful and glorious. The earth’s fruit will be the pride and splendor of Israel’s survivors. Whoever remains in Zion and is left in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who is on the list of those living in Jerusalem. When the Lord washes the filth from Zion’s daughters, and cleanses Jerusalem’s bloodguilt from within it by means of a wind of judgment and a searing wind, then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over its assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the light of a blazing fire by night. Over all the glory there will be a canopy, which will be a booth by day for shade from the heat and a hiding place and shelter from a stormy downpour.
