Isaiah 17:4 (BSB)
Context Reading
2The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they will be left to the flocks, which will lie down with no one to fear. 3The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the sovereignty from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the splendor of the Israelites,” declares the LORD of Hosts. 4“In that day the splendor of Jacob will fade, and the fat of his body will waste away, 5as the reaper gathers the standing grain and harvests the ears with his arm, as one gleans heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim. 6Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten — two or three berries atop the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
