Na siku hiyo wanawake saba watamshika mtu mume mmoja wakisema, Tutakula chakula chetu, na kuvaa nguo zetu wenyewe, lakini tuitwe tu kwa jina lako; utuondolee aibu yetu.

Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a glowing flame of fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a canopy,
