Isaiah 17:4-8

International Children’s Bible

⁴ “At that time Israel’s wealth will all be gone.
    Israel will be like a man who has lost much weight from sickness.
⁵ That time will be like the grain harvest in the Valley of Rephaim.
    The workers cut the wheat.
Then they cut the heads of grain from the plants.
    And they collect the grain.
⁶ That time will also be like the olive harvest,
    when a few olives are left.
Two or three olives are left in the top branches.
    Four or five olives are left on full branches,” says the Lord, the God of Israel.

⁷ At that time people will look to God, their Maker.
    Their eyes will see the Holy One of Israel.
⁸ They will not trust the altars they have made.
    They will not trust what their hands have made.
They will not respect the Asherah idols
    and altars they have made.
