Isaiah 4
New Living Translation
4In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, “Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”
3All who remain in Zion will be a holy people - those who survive the destruction of Jerusalem and are recorded among the living.
4The Lord will wash the filth from beautiful Zion[2] and cleanse Jerusalem of its bloodstains with the hot breath of fiery judgment.
5Then the Lord will provide shade for Mount Zion and all who assemble there. He will provide a canopy of cloud during the day and smoke and flaming fire at night, covering the glorious land.
6It will be a shelter from daytime heat and a hiding place from storms and rain.
