Isaiah 17:3-8

View Full Chapter

3The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus; the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Israelites,” declares the LORD Almighty.

4“In that day the glory of Jacob will fade; the fat of his body will waste away.

5It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain, gathering the grain in their arms— as when someone gleans heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.

6Yet some gleanings will remain, as when an olive tree is beaten, leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches, four or five on the fruitful boughs,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.

7In that day people will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.

8They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands, and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles That is, wooden symbols of the goddess Asherah and the incense altars their fingers have made.
