« | Isaiah 4 | » |
1 And seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothes; only let your name be called upon us, [and] take away our reproach.
2 And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant of Israel.
3 And it shall be, [that] the remnant left in Zion, and the remnant left in Jerusalem, [even] all that are appointed to life in Jerusalem, shall be called holy.
4 For the Lord shall wash away the filth of the sons and daughters of Zion, and He shall purge out the blood from the midst of them, with the spirit of judgment, and the spirit of burning.
5 And He shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place in Mount Zion, yea, all the region round about it shall a cloud overshadow by day, and [there shall be] as it were the smoke and light of fire burning by night; and upon all the glory shall be a defense.
6 And it shall be for a shadow from the heat, and as a shelter and a hiding place from inclemency [of weather] and from rain.
