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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 On that day
the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.(A)
5 And it shall be as when reapers gather standing grain
and their arms harvest the ears,
and as when one gleans the ears of grain
in the Valley of Rephaim.(B)
6 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,
says the Lord God of Israel.(C)
7 On that day people will look to their Maker, with their eyes on the Holy One of Israel;(D) 8 they will not have regard for the altars, the work of their hands, and they will not look to what their own fingers have made, either the sacred poles[a] or the altars of incense.(E)
