Context of Isaiah 17:7
5It will be as when one gathers the grain harvest, and his hand gleans the ear of grain. It will be like one gathering the ears of grain in the Valley of Rephaim. 6There will be some left behind, like when an olive tree is beaten – two or three ripe olives remain toward the very top, four or five on its fruitful branches,” says the Lord God of Israel. At that time men will trust in their creator; they will depend on the Holy One of Israel. 8They will no longer trust in the altars their hands made, or depend on the Asherah poles and incense altars their fingers made. 9At that time their fortified cities will be like the abandoned summits of the Amorites, which they abandoned because of the Israelites; there will be desolation.
