2
But in that day, the branch 1 of the Lord
will be beautiful and glorious;
the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory
of all who survive in Israel.
3
All who remain in Zion
will be a holy people -
those who survive the destruction of Jerusalem
and are recorded among the living.
4
The Lord will wash the filth from beautiful Zion 2
and cleanse Jerusalem of its bloodstains
with the hot breath of fiery judgment.
5
Then the Lord will provide shade for Mount Zion
and all who assemble there.
He will provide a canopy of cloud during the day
and smoke and flaming fire at night,
covering the glorious land.
6
It will be a shelter from daytime heat
and a hiding place from storms and rain.
