Seven women will grab hold of one man in that day, saying:

“We will eat our own bread,
    and wear our own apparel.
Only let us be called by your name—
    take away our reproach!”

Zion’s End-Time Glory

In that day the Branch of Adonai will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land excellent and appealing for Israel’s survivors. So it will come to pass that whoever is left in Zion and whoever remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem.

After Adonai has washed away the filth of the Daughters of Zion and has purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, then Adonai will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her convocations, a cloud by day, and smoke and shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all, glory will be a canopy[a]. Then there will be a sukkah for shade by day from the heat, and for refuge and for shelter from storm and from rain.
