The Branch of the Lord Will Be Beautiful

On that day, the Branch[a] of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel. Then whoever is left in Zion and whoever remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, that is, everyone who is registered for life in Jerusalem. The Lord will wash away the disgusting filth[b] of the daughters of Zion and cleanse the blood of Jerusalem from its midst by the Spirit[c] of judgment and by the Spirit of burning. Then over the entire site[d] of Mount Zion and over her assemblies, the Lord will create a cloud of smoke by day and a bright flaming fire by night, so there will be a canopy over all the glory. In the daytime there will be a shelter to provide shade from the heat and to provide refuge and a hiding place from the storm and the rain.
