Isaiah 17:4-8

New Century Version

⁴ “At that time Israel’s wealth will all be gone.
    Israel will be like someone 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 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,
    nor will they trust what their hands have made,
not even the Asherah idols and altars.
