Isaiah 17:4-8

International Standard Version

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