Isaiah 17:5-9

Isaiah 17:5-9

[5] And it shall be as when the harvestman  gathereth  the corn,  and reapeth  the ears  with his arm;  and it shall be as he that gathereth  ears  in the valley  of Rephaim.  [6] Yet gleaning grapes  shall be left  in it, as the shaking  of an olive tree,  two  or three  berries  in the top  of the uppermost bough,  four  or five  in the outmost fruitful  branches  thereof, saith  the LORD  God  of Israel.  [7] At that day  shall a man  look  to his Maker,  and his eyes  shall have respect  to the Holy  One of Israel.  [8] And he shall not look  to the altars,  the work  of his hands,  neither shall respect  that which his fingers  have made,  either the groves,  or the images.  [9] In that day  shall his strong  cities  be as a forsaken  bough,  and an uppermost branch,  which they left  because  of the children  of Israel:  and there shall be desolation.
