A Remnant in Zion

1Seven women will take hold of one of man

in that day, saying,

“Our own bread we will eat

and our own garment we will wear;

only let your name be called over us.

Remove our reproach.”

2That in the day will be the Branch of YHWH

for beauty and for honor,

and the fruit of the earth

for pride and for glory to the escaped of Israel.

3And it will come to pass that the remainder in Zion,

and the leftover in Jerusalem,

holy will be called to him—

everyone who is written for life in Jerusalem—

4when the Lord has washed away

the filth of the daughters of Zion,

and the blood of Jerusalem He has cleansed from her midst,

by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning.

5And YHWH will create over all the foundation of Mount Zion,

and over her assemblies,

a cloud by day, and smoke,

and the shining of a flaming fire by night;

for over all of the glory

will be a canopy.

6And a covered shelter there will be for shade

by day from the heat,

and for a place of refuge, and for a hiding place,

from the storm and from the rain.
