(4:1) After God takes away women's jewelry and perfume,
"discovers their secret parts," and makes them all bald and stinking, he'll kill their
husbands. Women will then become so desperate that "seven women will take hold of one man,
saying ... let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach."
(4:1) "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and
wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our
reproach."
4:1And in that day seven
women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and
wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our
reproach.
4:2
In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and
the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are
escaped of Israel.
4:3
And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that
remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written
among the living in Jerusalem:
(4:3) "He that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem,
shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:" Is only God holy?
4:4When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion,
and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the
spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
(4:4-5) After God "washed away the filth" from the women and killed the men, he set up
"a cloud and smoke by day" and a "flaming fire by night."
(4:4) "When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the
midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning."
(4:5) "The LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day,
and the shining of a flaming fire by night."
4:5
And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon
her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire
by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
4:6
And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the
heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
