4And in that day the glory of Jacob will become thin, and the fatness of his flesh will waste away.

5And it will be as when one gathers standing grain at harvest, and his arm reaps the ears; and it will be as when one gleans ears in the Valley of Rephaim.

6Yet gleanings will be left in it, as when an olive tree is beaten: two or three berries at the top of the highest bough, four or five on its fruitful branches, declares Yahweh, the God of Israel.
