And in that day it shall come to pass,
that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin,
and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn,
and reapeth the ears with his arm;
and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree,
two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough,
four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.

At that day shall a man look to his Maker,
and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands,
neither shall respect that which his fingers have made,
either the groves, or the images.

“In that day(A) the glory(B) of Jacob will fade;
    the fat of his body will waste(C) away.
It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain,
    gathering(D) the grain in their arms—
as when someone gleans heads of grain(E)
    in the Valley of Rephaim.(F)
Yet some gleanings will remain,(G)
    as when an olive tree is beaten,(H)
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(I) people will look(J) to their Maker(K)
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One(L) of Israel.
They will not look to the altars,(M)
    the work of their hands,(N)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](O)
    and the incense altars their fingers(P) have made.
