⁵ 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)
6 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.

⁷ In that day^(F) people will look^(G) to their Maker^(H)
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One^(I) of Israel.

¹⁰ My people who are crushed on the threshing floor,^(A)
    I tell you what I have heard
from the Lord Almighty,
    from the God of Israel.

¹⁵ “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge,^(A)
    new and sharp, with many teeth.
You will thresh the mountains^(B) and crush them,
    and reduce the hills to chaff.^(C)

¹¹ “Also for you, Judah,
    a harvest^(A) is appointed.

“Whenever I would restore the fortunes^(B) of my people,

¹³ Swing the sickle,^(A)
    for the harvest^(B) is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,^(C)
    for the winepress^(D) is full
    and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!”

¹² In wrath you strode through the earth
    and in anger you threshed^(A) the nations.
