1 On that day seven women will lay hold of a single man and say, "We will eat our own food and wear our own clothing; only let your name be called over us. Take our reproach away!"
2 On that day the branch of the LORD will be beauty and glory, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and the splendor of Israel's escaped remnant.
3 Then whoever is left in Zion, whoever remains behind in Jerusalem, will be called holy, everyone written down for life in Jerusalem,
4 once the Lord has washed off the filth of the daughters of Zion and rinsed the bloodstains of Jerusalem out of her midst by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of burning.
5 The LORD will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over those assembled there a cloud and smoke by day and the glow of a blazing fire by night; over all the glory there will be a canopy.
6 It will be a shelter, giving shade from the heat by day, and a refuge and hiding place from storm and rain.
