Isaiah 17:4 BBE

²  Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.

³  The strong tower has gone from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: the rest of Aram will come to destruction, and be made like the glory of the children of Israel, says the Lord of armies.

⁴  And it will be in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made small, and the strength of his body will become feeble.

⁵  And it will be like a man cutting the growth of his grain, pulling together the heads of the grain with his arm; even as when they get in the grain in the valley of Rephaim.

⁶  But it will be like a man shaking an olive-tree, something will still be there, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the outside branches of a fertile tree, says the Lord, the God of Israel.
