Isaiah 17:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

Judgment against Israel

⁴On that day
the splendor of Jacob will fade,
and his healthy body^[a] will become emaciated.^(A)
⁵It will be as if a reaper had gathered standing grain—
his arm harvesting the heads of grain—
and as if one had gleaned heads of grain
in Rephaim Valley.^(B)

⁶Only gleanings will be left in Israel,^(C)
as if an olive tree had been beaten—
two or three olives at the very top of the tree,
four or five on its fruitful branches.
This is the declaration of the Lord, the God of Israel.
