Isaiah 17:5-7
Easy-to-Read Version
5 “That time will be like the grain harvest in Rephaim Valley.[a] The workers gather the plants that grow in the field. Then they cut the heads of grain from the plants and collect the grain.
6 “That time will also be like the olive harvest. People knock olives from the trees, but a few olives are usually left at the top of each tree. Four or five olives are left on some of the top branches. It will be the same for those cities,” says the Lord All-Powerful.
7 Then the people will look up to the one who made them. Their eyes will see the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 17:5-7
New International Version
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.
