Isaiah 4:4

Isaiah 4:4

The Renewal of Zion

2 In that day ^athe Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious;
And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing
For those of Israel who have escaped.

3 And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem ^awill be called holy—everyone who is ^brecorded among the living in Jerusalem.

4 When ^athe Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the¹ blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,

5 then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, ^aa cloud and smoke by day and ^bthe shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a¹ covering.

6 And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, ^afor a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.

<< Isaiah 4:3

Isaiah 4:5 >>

When—that is, After.

washed— (Zechariah 13:1).

filth—moral (Isaiah 1:21-25).

daughters of Zion—same as in Isaiah 3:16.

purged—purified by judgments; destroying the ungodly, correcting and refining the godly.

blood— (Isaiah 1:15).

spirit—Whatever God does in the universe, He does by His Spirit, "without the hand" of man (Job 34:20; Psalms 104:30). Here He is represented using His power as Judge.

burning— (Matthew 3:11-12). The same Holy Ghost, who sanctifies believers by the fire of affliction (Malachi 3:2-3), dooms unbelievers to the fire of perdition (I Corinthians 3:13-15).
