Isaiah 4
1 And seven women shall take hold of
one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own raiment: only let
thy 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 Sion, and the remnant left
in Jerusalem, even all that are
aGr. written for life.appointed to life in Jerusalem, shall be called holy.
4 For the Lord shall wash away the
filth of the sons and daughters of Sion, and 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 of mount Sion, 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 defence.
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.
