⁵ Israel will be like a field of grain in Rephaim valley after the harvest. The workers have cut down the crops. They have picked up the grain from the ground. ⁶ There will be only a few people that remain in Israel. They will be like a few olives that remain on a tree after the harvest. Perhaps two or three olives are still there on the highest branches. Four or five olives may remain on the other branches.’

That is what the Lord God of Israel says.

⁷ At that time, people will turn back to their Maker. They will trust the Holy God of Israel to help them.
