Yet (A)gleanings will remain in it like the [a]shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives on the topmost branch,
Four or five on the twigs of a fruitful tree,
Declares Yahweh, the God of Israel.
In that day man will (B)have regard for his Maker
And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.
He will not have regard for the (C)altars, the work of his hands,
Nor will he look to that which his (D)fingers have made,
Even the [b](E)Asherim and [c]incense stands.

Yet some gleanings will remain,(A)
    as when an olive tree is beaten,(B)
leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches,
    four or five on the fruitful boughs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.

In that day(C) people will look(D) to their Maker(E)
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One(F) of Israel.
They will not look to the altars,(G)
    the work of their hands,(H)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](I)
    and the incense altars their fingers(J) have made.
