Isaiah 17  International Standard Version

⁴ “At that time,^[i] Jacob’s glory will have become weakened,
    and his strong^[j] flesh will turn gaunt;
⁵ it will be as if harvesters gather standing grain,
    reaping the ears by hand,^[k]
or it will be as if grain is harvested
    in the valley of Rephaim.^[l]
6 Nevertheless, gleanings will remain in Israel,^[m]
    as when an olive tree is beaten—^[n]
two or three ripe olives left in the topmost branches,
    four or five left among the branches of a fruit-filled tree,”^[o]
        declares the Lord God of Israel.

⁹ “At that time,^[v] their fortified cities
    that they abandoned because of the Israelis
will be like desolate places^[w] of the forests and hilltops—^[x]
    there will be desolation.
¹⁰ For you have forgotten the God of your salvation
    and have not remembered the Rock
        that is your strength.
Therefore even though you plant delightful plants,
    sowing them with imported vine-seedlings,
¹¹ at the time that you plant them,
    carefully making them grow,
the very morning you make your seed to sprout,
    your harvest will be ruined^[y]
        in a time of grief and unbearable pain.”^[z]
