Isaiah 17:4-8
4Now on that day the 1glory of Jacob will 2fade, And 3the fatness of his flesh will become lean.5It will be 4like the 5reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears, Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain In the 6Valley of Rephaim.6Yet 7gleanings will be left in it like the 8shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives on the topmost branch, Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree, Declares the Lord, the God of Israel.7On that day man will 9look to his Maker And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.8And he will not look to the 10altars, the work of his hands, Nor will he look to that which his 11fingers have made, Even the 1213Asherim and incense altars.
