Isaiah 17:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And in that day the glory of [a]Jacob shall be made clean.
5 And it shall be as when the harvest man gathereth [b]the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm, and he shall be as he that gathereth the ears in the valley of [c]Rephaim.
6 Yet a gathering of grapes shall [d]be left in it: as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries are in the top of the upmost boughs, and four or five in the high branches of the fruit thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.
