Isaiah 4

1 On that day seven women will seize one man, saying, "We will eat our own bread and provide our own clothing. Just let us bear 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 written in the book of life —

4 when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodguilt from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of burning.

5 Then the LORD will create a cloud of smoke by day and a glowing flame of fire by night over the entire site of Mount Zion and over its assemblies. For there will be a canopy over all the glory,

6 and there will be a shelter for shade from heat by day and a refuge and shelter from storm and rain.

Chapter Summary

In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful, and God's glory will shelter a purified remnant of Zion.

Book Summary

Isaiah proclaims judgment and hope to Judah: the holiness of God, the folly of trusting nations, and the promise of a coming King and suffering Servant. Its prophecies of Immanuel and the Servant's atoning death are foundational to the New Testament.
