A Remnant Prepared
4
For seven women will take hold of Aone man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; Btake away our reproach!”
In that day the ABranch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the Bfruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the Csurvivors of Israel. It will come about that he who is Aleft in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called Bholyeveryone who is Crecorded for life in Jerusalem. When the Lord has washed away the filth of the Adaughters of Zion and 1purged the Bbloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the Cspirit of judgment and the Dspirit of burning, then the Lord will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies Aa cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the Bglory will be a canopy. There will be a Ashelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and 1protection from the storm and the rain.
