3 Those remaining in Zion, those left in Jerusalem,will be called “holy,” all in Jerusalem who are destined to live.
4 At that time the sovereign master will wash the excrement from Zion’s women, he will rinse the bloodstains from Jerusalem’s midst,as he comes to judgeand to bring devastation.
5 Then the Lord will createover all of Mount Zionand over its convocationsa cloud and smoke by dayand a bright flame of fire by night;indeed a canopy will accompany the Lord’s glorious presence.
6 By day it will be a shelter to provide shade from the heat,as well as safety and protection from the heavy downpour.
