Isaiah Chapter 4 (ROTHERHAM)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 And seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, Our own bread, will we eat, And our own apparel, will we wear,—Only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

2 In that day, Shall the Bud of Yahweh, become beautiful and glorious,—And the Fruit of the Land splendid and majestic, To the escaped of Israel.

3 And it shall come to pass—He that is left in Zion! And he that remaineth in Jerusalem, Shall be called, holy,—Everyone written unto life in Jerusalem.

4 When My Lord shall have bathed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, And the blood-guiltiness of Jerusalem, he shall wash away out of her midst,—By the spirit of judgment, and By the spirit of thorough cleansing,

5 Then will Yahweh, create—Over all the home of Mount Zion and Over her assembly, A cloud by day and a smoke, And the shining of a fire-flame, by night,—For over all the glory, shall be a canopy;

6 And a pavilion, shall there be For a shade by day, from the heat,—and For a refuge and for a shelter, from storm and from rain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this short chapter, Isaiah 4, cover?
It follows directly from chapter 3's judgment, describing a future so depleted of men that seven women will share one husband just "to take away our reproach" (v1), before promising that a surviving remnant in Zion will be called holy and covered like a cloud by day and fire by night (v3-5).
What does 'seven women shall take hold of one man' mean in verse 1?
It pictures a scarcity of men so severe that women would forgo normal provision just to avoid the social "reproach" of being unmarried - a use of "reproach" for childlessness/unmarried status similar to Genesis 30:23.
What is 'the branch of the LORD' mentioned in verse 2?
It's introduced simply as something beautiful and glorious for the survivors of Israel; the chapter itself doesn't elaborate further on what the phrase specifically refers to.
