The Branch of the Lord Glorified

Isaiah 4

² In that day _i the branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and _j the fruit of the land shall be the pride and honor of the survivors of Israel. ³ _k And he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called _l holy, everyone who has _m been recorded for life in Jerusalem, ⁴ when _n the Lord shall have washed away the filth of _o the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgment and by _p a spirit of burning. ₁ ⁵ Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies _q a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be _r a canopy. ⁶ _s There will be a _t booth for shade by day from the heat, and _u for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.
