Isaiah 17:4–5

4 “In that day the glory of Jacob will fade;

the fat of his body will waste away.

5 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.

4 And in that day the glory of Jacob will be brought low,

and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.

5 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.

4 And in that day it shall come to pass,

That the glory of Jacob shall be made thin,

And the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

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.

4 “In that day Israel’s glory will grow dim;

its robust body will waste away.

5 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.

4 “At that time Israel’s wealth will all be gone.

Israel will be like someone who has lost much weight from sickness.

5 That time will be like the grain harvest in the Valley of Rephaim.

The workers cut the wheat.

Then they cut the heads of grain from the plants

and collect the grain.

4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. 5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing grain, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean. 5 And it shall be as when the reaper gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; yea, it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

4 “When that day comes, the honor of Jacob’s people will fade away, 

and they will become skin and bones. 

5 That time will be like harvesting bundles of grain by the armful. 

It will be like gathering grain in the Rephaim Valley. 

4 On that day

the splendor of Jacob will fade,

and his healthy body will become emaciated.

5 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 the Valley of Rephaim.

4 On that day

the glory of Jacob will be brought low,

and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.

5 And it shall be as when reapers gather standing grain

and their arms harvest the ears,

and as when one gleans the ears of grain

in the Valley of Rephaim.

4 “And this shall happen:

On that day, the glory of Jacob will be brought low,

and the fat of his flesh will become lean.

5 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.

4 “In days to come, the glory of Jacob’s people will fade.

Their strength will get weaker and weaker.

5 It will be as when a worker cuts and gathers grain

in the Valley of Rephaim.

He gathers up stalks with his arms.

Only a few heads of grain are left.

4 Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade,

And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

5 It will be even like the reaper gathering the standing grain,

As his arm harvests the ears,

Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain

In the valley of Rephaim.
