Initially verse 1 of chapter 4 concludes what was said in chapter 3, continuing to show the breakdown in societal norms with 7 women per man. The shortage of men is probably due to war. Then Isaiah goes on to talk about "the Branch of the Lord" where branch or shoot is the newly created and sprouting Judah... and those left in Zion will be called holy... the Lord will cleanse the filth of Zion's women... and God will place a cloud of smoke and a flaming fire over Zion.
