Isaiah 17:5-11

⁵as the reaper gathers the standing grain

and harvests the ears with his arm,

as one gleans heads of grain

in the Valley of Rephaim.

⁶Yet gleanings will remain,

like an olive tree that has been beaten—

two or three berries atop the tree,

four or five on its fruitful branches,”

⁷In that day men will look to their Maker

and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.

⁸They will not look to the altars

they have fashioned with their hands

or to the Asherahs and incense altars

they have made with their fingers.

⁹In that day their strong cities

will be like forsaken thickets and summits,

abandoned to the Israelites

and to utter desolation.

¹⁰For you have forgotten the God of your salvation

and failed to remember the Rock of your refuge.

Therefore, though you cultivate delightful plots

and set out cuttings from exotic vines —

¹¹though on the day you plant

you make them grow,

and on that morning

you help your seed sprout —

yet the harvest will vanish

on the day of disease and incurable pain.

— Isaiah 17:5-11
