Now it will be in that day, that the (A)glory of Jacob will [a]wane,
And (B)the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
And it will be (C)even like the [b]reaper gathering the standing grain,
As his arm harvests the ears of grain,
Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain
In the (D)valley of Rephaim.

Two or three olives on the topmost branch,
Four or five on the twigs of a fruitful tree,
Declares Yahweh, the God of Israel.
