“In that day,
Yahweh of hosts
Will be a garland of glory.
He will be a diadem of beauty,
To the remnant of his people.
Yahweh will be a spirit of justice
To the one who sits in judgment.
He will be strength
To those who turn back
The battle at the gate.”
Isaiah says that Yahweh of hosts will be the crown of glory and a beautiful diadem for those who are the remnant of his people. In other words, the chosen few will take on Yahweh’s spiritual leadership. Yahweh will be the spirit of justice for them. He will give them strength to hold back the enemy at the gate.
