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.

Isaiah 17:4-8
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.
