Isaiah 17:4-8

Common English Bible

⁴ On that day, Jacob’s glory will dwindle;
    his sleek body will waste away.
⁵ It will be as when harvesters gather grain.
    God will harvest armfuls at a time,
    like one who gathers grain
    in the Rephaim Valley.
⁶ Only remaining bits are left,
        like an olive tree that has been shaken:
    two or three olives on the highest branch;
        four or five on a fruitful twig,
        says the Lord God of Israel.

⁷ On that day, people will have regard for their maker,
    and their eyes will look to the holy one of Israel.
⁸ They will have no regard for altars,
    the work of their hands,
    or look to what their fingers made:
    sacred poles^[a] and incense stands.
