Isaiah 17:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ It will be as when workers cut and gather grain
    in the Valley of Rephaim.
They gather up stalks in their arms.
    Only a few heads of grain are left.
⁶ In the same way, only a few people will be left alive.
    It will be as when workers knock olives off the trees.
Only two or three olives are left on the highest branches.
    Four or five at most are left on the limbs that produce fruit,”
    announces the Lord, the God of Israel.
