Yet some gleanings will remain,(A)
    as when an olive tree is beaten,(B)
leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches,
    four or five on the fruitful boughs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.

In that day(C) people will look(D) to their Maker(E)
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One(F) of Israel.
They will not look to the altars,(G)
    the work of their hands,(H)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](I)
    and the incense altars their fingers(J) have made.

  1. Isaiah 17:8 That is, wooden symbols of the goddess Asherah

(A)Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it,
Like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
Says the Lord God of Israel.

In that day a man will (B)look to his Maker,
And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
He will not look to the altars,
The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his (C)fingers have made,
Nor the [a]wooden images nor the incense altars.
