And it will be (A)even like the [a]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 (B)valley of Rephaim.
Yet (C)gleanings will remain in it like the [b]shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives on the topmost branch,
Four or five on the twigs of a fruitful tree,
Declares Yahweh, the God of Israel.
In that day man will (D)have regard for his Maker
And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.

  2. Isaiah 17:6 Lit striking

It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain,
    gathering(A) the grain in their arms—
as when someone gleans heads of grain(B)
    in the Valley of Rephaim.(C)
Yet some gleanings will remain,(D)
    as when an olive tree is beaten,(E)
leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches,
    four or five on the fruitful boughs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.

In that day(F) people will look(G) to their Maker(H)
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One(I) of Israel.
