Text
- The original text is written in Hebrew language.
- This chapter is the shortest in the Book of Isaiah, with only 6 verses.
- The New King James Version calls verses 2-6 "The Renewal of Zion".
- American theologian Albert Barnes argued that "there was no reason why these six verses should have been made a separate chapter" from Isaiah 3.[3]

Verse 1
- And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying,
- “We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel;
- Only let us be called by your name,
- To take away our reproach.”[6]
The New King James Version treats verse 1 as a continuation of chapter 3 and reformation theologian John Calvin argued that "this verse certainly ought not to have been separated from the preceding".[7]
Verse 2
- In that day the 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.[8]
The text in the Septuagint is different:
- In that day, God shall shine in counsel with glory upon the earth, to exalt, and to glorify the remnant of Israel.[3]
