5And it shall be jas when the harvestman gathereth the corn,

And reapeth the ears with his arm;

And it shall be as he that gathereth ears in kthe valley of Rephaim.

6lYet mngleaning grapes shall be left in it, mas the shaking of an olive tree,

oTwo or three berries in the top of pthe uppermost bough,

qFour or five in rthe outmost fruitful branches thereof,

Saith the Lord God of Israel.

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

And it shall be as when the reaper gathers standing grain

and his arm harvests the ears,

and as when one gleans the ears of grain

in the Valley of Rephaim.

Gleanings will be left in it,

as when an olive tree is beaten—

two or three berries

in the top of the highest bough,

four or five

on the branches of a fruit tree,

declares the Lord God of Israel.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

It 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.

Yet 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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

It will be as if a reaper had gathered standing grain—

his arm harvesting the heads of grain—

and as if one had gleaned heads of grain

in Rephaim Valley.

Only gleanings will be left in Israel,

as if an olive tree had been beaten—

two or three olives at the very top of the tree,

four or five on its fruitful branches.

This is the declaration of the Lord,

the God of Israel.

NLTNew Living Translation

The whole land will look like a grainfield

after the harvesters have gathered the grain.

It will be desolate,

like the fields in the valley of Rephaim after the harvest.

Only a few of its people will be left,

like stray olives left on a tree after the harvest.

Only two or three remain in the highest branches,

four or five scattered here and there on the limbs,”

declares the Lord, the God of Israel.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And it shall be as when a reaper gathers standing grain

and he reaps grain with his arm,

and it shall be like one who gathers ears of grain

in the valley of Rephaim.

And gleanings will be left over in it, as when an olive tree is beaten,

two or three ripe olive berries in the top of a branch,

four or five on its fruitful branches,”

declares Yahweh, the God of Israel.
