Isaiah 4:3-4

3, 4. He that is left in Zion The true descendants of the few who, amid the immoralities of Jerusalem life, and despite surrounding temptations to the contrary, preserve themselves pure and loyal to Jehovah.

Shall be called holy Shall be holy. The idiom “shall be called” means this.

Written among the living Those who are alive in Jerusalem; typically, who continue unto eternal life.

Filth of the daughters of Zion Their vain-gloriousness; their silly and demoralizing pride and defilements. The judgments upon Judah and Jerusalem are to remove wash away

these, and the guiltiness of the people likewise.

Spirit of burning An intensified expression of the idea of the previous clause. The people, by a long but thorough process of spiritual cleansing, shall cease to love idolatry and crime, and shall learn truly to serve Jehovah.
