Isaiah 4:2-6
Expanded Bible
The Branch of the Lord
2 ·At that time [L In that day] the Lord’s branch [C either the produce of the land or a title for the Messiah (11:1; Jer. 23:5)] will be very beautiful and ·great [glorious]. ·What grows on the land [The fruit of the land] will be the pride and ·joy [glory] of the ·people still living in the land [L survivors in Israel]. 3 Those who ·are still living in Jerusalem [L remain in Zion and those who are left in Jerusalem] will be called holy; ·their names [L all who] are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the ·filth [vomit; excrement] from the women of Jerusalem. He will ·wash [cleanse] the bloodstains out of Jerusalem ·with the spirit of fairness and the spirit of fire [or with a wind/spirit of judgment and burning fire; or by the Spirit of judgment and burning fire]. 5 Then the Lord will ·cover [L create over] Mount Zion and ·the people who meet there [all her assemblies] with a cloud of smoke during the day and with a bright, flaming fire at night [Ex. 13:21; 14:19–20]. There will be a ·covering of glory over every person [or canopy over all the glory]. 6 This covering will ·protect the people [L be a shelter for shade] from the heat ·of the sun [by day] and ·will provide a safe place to hide [a refuge and shelter] from the storm and rain.

New American Standard Bible
2 On that day the (A)Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the (B)fruit of the earth will be the pride and the beauty of the (C)survivors of Israel. 3 And it will come about that the one who is (D)left in Zion and remains behind in Jerusalem will be called (E)holy—everyone who is (F)recorded for life in Jerusalem. 4 When the Lord has washed away the filth of the (G)daughters of Zion and [a]purged the (H)bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the (I)spirit of judgment and the (J)spirit of [b]burning, 5 then the Lord will create over the entire area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies (K)a cloud by day, and smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the (L)glory will be a canopy. 6 And there will be a (M)shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and [c]protection from the storm and the rain.
