1 Andin that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,
# “We willeat our own food and wear our own apparel;
Only let us be called by your name,
# To take awayour reproach.”
The Renewal of Zion
2 In that daythe Branch of theLordshall be beautiful and glorious;
And the fruit of the earthshallbeexcellent and appealing
For those of Israel who have escaped.
3 And it shall come to pass thathewhoisleft in Zion and remains in Jerusalemwill be called holy—everyone who isrecorded among the living in Jerusalem.
4 Whenthe Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,
5 then theLordwill create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies,a cloud and smoke by day andthe shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory therewillbea covering.
6 And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat,for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.
