Isaiah 4
In a future time, women will seek marriage to escape shame, but the Lord's people will be esteemed and joyful. Those who remain in Jerusalem will be considered holy and will have their names written in the book of life. The Lord will purify the people of Zion and Jerusalem, washing away their sins through judgment and devotion. He will also provide protection and shelter for them, creating a cloud by day and fire by night, and a tabernacle for shade and security.
1And seven women will take hold of one man, in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothing, only let us be called by your name, so as to take away our reproach.2In that day, the seedling of the Lord will have magnificence and glory, and the fruit of the earth will be greatly-esteemed and a source of joy to those who will have been saved out of Israel3And this shall be: all who are left behind in Zion, and who remain in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, all who have been written in life in Jerusalem4Then the Lord will have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and will have washed away the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by means of a spirit of judgment and a spirit of intense devotion5And the Lord will create, over every place of Mount Zion and wherever he is called upon, a cloud by day and a smoke with the splendor of burning fire by night. For protection will be over every glory6And there will be a tabernacle for shade from the heat in daytime, and for security, and for protection from the whirlwind and from rain
