Isaiah 17:4-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ On that day the glory of Jacob will fade,
and his sturdy body will waste away.
⁵ It will be like the time when a reaper has gathered the standing grain,
and his arm has reaped the heads of grain,
when someone gleans grain in the Valley of Rephaim,
⁶ and a few gleanings are still left there,
or when the branches of an olive tree have been beaten,
and only two or three ripe olives are left on the top of the highest bough,
or four or five remain on the fruitful branches,
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
⁷ On that day people will trust in their Maker,
and they will look to the Holy One of Israel.
⁸ They will not look to the altars, the work of their own hands.
They will not respect what their fingers have made,
    neither the Asherah poles nor the altars for incense.
