1 Seven women will take hold of one man on that day, saying:
“We will eat our own food and wear our own clothing;
Only let your name be given us, put an end to our disgrace!”
Jerusalem Purified
2 On that day, The branch of the LORD will be beauty and glory,
and the fruit of the land will be honor and splendor for the survivors of Israel.
3 Everyone who remains in Zion, everyone left in Jerusalem
Will be called holy:
everyone inscribed for life in Jerusalem.
4 When the Lord washes away the filth of the daughters of Zion,
And purges Jerusalem’s blood from her midst
with a blast of judgment, a searing blast,
5 Then will the LORD create, over the whole site of Mount Zion
and over her place of assembly, A smoking cloud by day
and a light of flaming fire by night.
6 For over all, his glory will be shade from the parching heat of day,
shelter and protection: refuge and cover from storm and rain.
