Isaías 4:2-6

2 Una promesa de restauración
Pero en aquel día, el retoño
del Señor
será hermoso y glorioso.
El fruto de la tierra será el orgullo y la gloria
de todos los sobrevivientes de Israel.

3 Los que queden en Sión
serán un pueblo santo,
los que sobrevivan la destrucción de Jerusalén
y estén registrados entre los vivientes.

4 El Señor lavará la inmundicia de la hermosa Sión
y limpiará a Jerusalén de sus manchas de sangre
con el aliento abrasador de su ardiente juicio.

5 Entonces el Señor
proveerá sombra para el monte Sión
y para todos los que se reúnan allí;
les dará una cubierta de nubes durante el día
y por la noche, humo y ardiente fuego,
que cubrirá la tierra gloriosa.

6 Será un refugio del calor del día
y un albergue contra las tormentas y la lluvia.

Isaías 4:2-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 4

The "first" verse of this chapter Isa 4:1 seems more properly to belong to the preceding chapter, which declares such a scarcity of men, through the destruction of them in war, there predicted, that there should be seven women to one man; who, contrary to their natural modesty, would make suit to him; and, contrary to custom, propose to provide their own food and raiment, only desiring to be called by his name. After which, Isa 4:2, follows a prophecy of Christ, who is described by his names, the branch of the Lord, and the fruit of the earth; and by proper epithets of him, as such, beautiful, glorious, excellent, and comely; and by the persons to whom he is so, the escaped of Israel, to whom various blessings are promised; as the sanctification of them, the source of which is their election, and the means of it the spirit of judgment and burning, Isa 4:3,4 and the protection and preservation of them, by the Lord's creating, as for Israel of old, a cloud of smoke to rest upon them by day, and a shining of flaming fire by night, and by being himself a tabernacle to screen them from heat in the day, and a place of refuge to cover them from storm and rain, Isa 4:5,6.
