Judgement against Israel

On that day
the splendour of Jacob will fade,
and his healthy body[a] will become emaciated.(A)
It will be as if a reaper had gathered standing corn –
his arm harvesting the ears of corn –
and as if one had gleaned ears of corn
in Rephaim Valley.(B)
Only gleanings will be left in Israel,(C)
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.
