Isaiah 17:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Now it will be in that day, that the (A)glory of Jacob will [a]wane,
And (B)the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
5 And it will be (C)even like the [b]reaper gathering the standing grain,
As his arm harvests the ears of grain,
Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain
In the (D)valley of Rephaim.
6 Yet (E)gleanings will remain in it like the [c]shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives on the topmost branch,
Four or five on the twigs of a fruitful tree,
Declares Yahweh, the God of Israel.
7 In that day man will (F)have regard for his Maker
And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.
8 He will not have regard for the (G)altars, the work of his hands,
Nor will he look to that which his (H)fingers have made,
Even the [d](I)Asherim and [e]incense stands.

English Standard Version
4 And in that day (A)the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
and (B)the fat of his flesh will grow lean.
5 And it shall be (C)as when the reaper gathers standing grain
and his arm harvests the ears,
and as when one gleans the ears of grain
in (D)the Valley of Rephaim.
6 (E)Gleanings will be left in it,
as when an olive tree is beaten—
two or three berries
in the top of the highest bough,
four or five
on the branches of a fruit tree,
declares the Lord God of Israel.
7 (F)In that day man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel. 8 (G)He will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, and he will not look on what his own fingers have made, either the (H)Asherim or the altars of incense.
