[ Read](/kjv/isaiah/4)[ Commentary](/study/isaiah/4)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/isaiah/4) Audio

 1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.**

 2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth *shall be* excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.**

 3 And it shall come to pass, *that he that is* left in Zion, and *he that* remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, *even* every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:*

 4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

 5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory *shall be* a defence.**

 6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
 
[Isaiah 3](/study/isaiah/3) [Isaiah 5](/study/isaiah/5)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
**In that day,**of which he hath hitherto been speaking, [Isaiah 2:0](/kjv/isaiah/2/0); [Isaiah 3:0](/kjv/isaiah/3/0), and still continueth to speak. In that calamitous time. 

**Seven;**many. A certain number for an uncertain. *Shall take hold*; shall sue to him, and even lay hands upon him, contrary to their custom, and their natural modesty. 

**Of one man;**because few men shall survive that dreadful stroke. They who before were not contented with their own husbands, are now glad of a seventh part of a husband. 

**We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;**we will ease thee of that charge, which otherwise would fall upon thee by God’s law, [Exodus 21:10](/kjv/exodus/21/10). 

**Let us be called by thy name;**own us for thy wives. 

**Reproach:** virginity was esteemed a reproach, especially among that people, because it was a token of contempt from men, and of the curse of God; children, the usual fruit of marriage, being both an honour to their parents before men, and a great blessing of God, especially to that people, from some of whose loins the Messiah was to spring.
