Isaiah 17:4-8
International Children’s Bible
4 “At that time Israel’s wealth will all be gone.
Israel will be like a man who has lost much weight from sickness.
5 That time will be like the grain harvest in the Valley of Rephaim.
The workers cut the wheat.
Then they cut the heads of grain from the plants.
And they collect the grain.
6 That time will also be like the olive harvest,
when a few olives are left.
Two or three olives are left in the top branches.
Four or five olives are left on full branches,” says the Lord, the God of Israel.
7 At that time people will look to God, their Maker.
Their eyes will see the Holy One of Israel.
8 They will not trust the altars they have made.
They will not trust what their hands have made.
They will not respect the Asherah idols
and altars they have made.

Isaiah 17:4-8
New International Version
4 “In that day(A) the glory(B) of Jacob will fade;
the fat of his body will waste(C) away.
5 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)
6 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.
