Isaiah 17:6 in context

  1. 4“It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
  2. 5It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.
  3. 6Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel.
  4. 7In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
  5. 8They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherah poles, or the incense altars.
