The Branch of the Lord Glorified

²In that day ^(E)the branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious, and ^(F)the fruit of the land shall be the pride and honor of the survivors of Israel. ³^(G)And he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called ^(H)holy, everyone who has ^(I)been recorded for life in Jerusalem, ⁴when ^(J)the Lord shall have washed away the filth of ^(K)the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgment and by ^(L)a spirit of burning.^[a] ⁵Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies ^(M)a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be ^(N)a canopy. ⁶^(O)There will be a ^(P)booth for shade by day from the heat, and ^(Q)for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.
