1 Seven women will take hold of one manon that day, saying:“We will eat our own foodand wear our own clothing;Only let your name be given us,put an end to our disgrace!”
2 On that day,The branch of the Lord will be beauty and glory,and the fruit of the land will be honor and splendorfor the survivors of Israel.
3 Everyone who remains in Zion,everyone left in JerusalemWill be called holy:everyone inscribed for life in Jerusalem.
4 When the Lord washes awaythe filth of the daughters of Zion,And purges Jerusalem’s blood from her midstwith a blast of judgment, a searing blast,
5 Then will the Lord create,over the whole site of Mount Zionand over her place of assembly,A smoking cloud by dayand a light of flaming fire by night.
6 For over all, his glory will be shelter and protection:shade from the parching heat of day,refuge and cover from storm and rain.
