MSB Audio · Isaiah 4
Majority Standard Bible
1 In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, “We will eat our own bread and provide our own clothes. Just let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!”
2 On that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of Israel’s survivors.
3 Whoever remains in Zion and whoever is left in Jerusalem will be called holy—all in Jerusalem who are recorded among the living—
4 when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire.
5 Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a glowing flame of fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a canopy,
6 a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and the rain.
KJV
1 ¶ And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
2 ¶ In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth [shall be] excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left in Zion, and [he that] remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, [even] every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory [shall be] a defence.
6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)
Prophecy of Christo.
2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be sweet and precious, and the fruit of the earth glorious and comely in them that are preserved in Israel.
3 And whosoever shall be left in Zion, and shall remain in Jerusalem, he shall be called holy, every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem.
4 Then shall the LORD wash the filthiness of the daughters of Zion, and drive out the blood of Jerusalem from her, by the Spirit that judgeth, and kindleth a fire.
5 And the LORD shall make over all the tabernacle of mount Zion, and where it is gathered, clouds and smoke by day, and the brightness of fire burning by night. For there shall be a screen over all that is glorious;
6 And shall be a tabernacle for a shadow of the day from the heat, and a refuge and a hiding place from the weather and rain.
