1 On that day seven women

will seize one man,  *  saying,

"We will eat our own bread

and provide our own clothing.

Just let us bear your name.

Take away our disgrace."  *

2 On that day the Branch  * of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious,  * and the fruit of the land  * will be the pride and glory  * of Israel’s survivors.  *3 Whoever remains in Zion and whoever is left in Jerusalem  * will be called holy  *  — all in Jerusalem written in the book of life  *,*  —  4 when the Lord has washed away the filth  * of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodguilt  * from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment  * and a spirit of burning.  *5 Then the Lord will create  * a cloud of smoke by day  * and a glowing flame of fire by night over the entire site of Mount Zion and over its assemblies. For there will be a canopy over all the glory,  *6 and there will be a shelter for shade from heat by day and a refuge and shelter from storm and rain.  *
