Isaiah 17:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵it will be as if harvesters gather standing grain,
    reaping the ears by hand,^[a]
or it will be as if grain is harvested
    in the valley of Rephaim.^[b]
⁶Nevertheless, gleanings will remain in Israel,^[c]
    as when an olive tree is beaten—^[d]
two or three ripe olives left in the topmost branches,
    four or five left among the branches of a fruit-filled tree,”^[e]
        declares the Lord God of Israel.
