Isaiah (66 chapters)
Isaiah 4
1
When that happens, there will be very few unmarried men still alive. As a result, seven unmarried women will grab one man, and say, “Allow us all to marry you [IDM]! We will provide our own food and clothing. All that we want is to no longer be disgraced because of not being married.”
2
But some day, Israel [MTY] will be very beautiful and great/glorious. The people of Israel who will still be there will be very proud of the wonderful fruit that grows in their land.
3
All the people who will remain in Jerusalem, who were not killed when Jerusalem was destroyed, whose names are listed among those who live there, will be called holy.
4
That will happen when Yahweh washes away the guilt of the women of Jerusalem, and when he stops the violence [MET] on the streets of Jerusalem by punishing the people of Jerusalem. When he does that, it will be like a fire to burn up all the impure things.
5
Then Yahweh will send a cloud of smoke every day and a flaming fire every night to cover Jerusalem and all those who gather there; it will be like a glorious canopy over the city
6
that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
