“When that day comes, the honor of Jacob’s people will fade away,
    and they will become skin and bones.
That time will be like harvesting bundles of grain by the armful.
    It will be like gathering grain in the Rephaim Valley.
Only a few people will survive.
    They will be like an olive tree that has been beaten.
        Only two or three olives are left
            at the top of the highest branch,
                four or five olives on the rest of the branches,”
                    declares Yahweh Elohim of Israel.

“In that day(A) the glory(B) of Jacob will fade;
    the fat of his body will waste(C) away.
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)
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.
