“In that day(A) the glory(B) of Jacob will fade;
    the fat of his body will waste(C) away.
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)
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.

In that day(I) people will look(J) to their Maker(K)
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One(L) of Israel.
They will not look to the altars,(M)
    the work of their hands,(N)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](O)
    and the incense altars their fingers(P) have made.

  1. Isaiah 17:8 That is, wooden symbols of the goddess Asherah

Now on that day the (A)glory of Jacob will [a]fade,
And (B)the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
It will be (C)like the [b]reaper gathering the standing grain,
As his arm harvests the ears,
Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain
In the (D)Valley of Rephaim.
Yet (E)gleanings will be left in it like the [c]shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives on the topmost branch,
Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree,
Declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
On that day man will (F)look to his Maker
And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.
And he will not look to 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 incense altars.
