Isaiah 17:4-8
New International Version
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 Living Translation
4 “In that day Israel’s[a] glory will grow dim;
its robust body will waste away.
5 The whole land will look like a grainfield
after the harvesters have gathered the grain.
It will be desolate,
like the fields in the valley of Rephaim after the harvest.
6 Only a few of its people will be left,
like stray olives left on a tree after the harvest.
Only two or three remain in the highest branches,
four or five scattered here and there on the limbs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
7 Then at last the people will look to their Creator
and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
8 They will no longer look to their idols for help
or worship what their own hands have made.
They will never again bow down to their Asherah poles
or worship at the pagan shrines they have built.
