Isa 4:2–6

4:2 Yahweh blesses Yerushalem again

2 At that time, Yahweh’s branch will become beautiful and glorious,

and the produce of the land will be a source of pride and delight for what remains of the Israelis. 3 All who remain in Tsiyon (Zion), i.e., the remnant in Yerushalem (Jerusalem), will then be his people who are destined to continue to live. 4 Surely my master will wash away the filth of Tsiyon’s daughters, and clean up the blood stains from the middle of Yerushalem using the spirit of judgement and the spirit of fire. 5 Then over all of Mt. Tsiyon and her assemblies there, Yahweh will place a canopy over all the splendour—creating cloud during the day, and smoke and the brightness of a flaming fire during the night.[ref] 6 During the day, it’ll be a shelter that gives shade from the heat, as well as being a cover and place to get out of the storm and rain.
