In the valley of Rephaim.

As at the beating of an olive-tree,
Two or three berries
In the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in the branches of the fruitful tree,
Saith the LORD, the God of Israel.
|
| TJBU
| 17:6
| Yet a gleaning shall be left; in it, as in the shaking of the olive tree, two or three berries on the top of the uppermost branch; so shall the righteous be left lonely in the midst of the world, among the kingdoms, saith the Lord, the God of Israel.

|
| Isaiah 17:10
|
| JPS
| 17:10
| For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation,
And thou hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy stronghold;
Therefore thou didst plant plants of pleasantness,
And didst set it with slips of a stranger;
|
| TJBU
| 17:10
| Because thou hast forsaken the God of thy salvation, and thou hast not remembered the fear of the Mighty One, whose Word was thy support; therefore thou hast planted a choice plant, and hast multiplied despicable works.
|

| Isaiah 17:11
|
| JPS
| 17:11
| In the day of thy planting thou didst make it to grow,
And in the morning thou didst make thy seed to blossom—
A heap of boughs in the day of grief
And of desperate pain.
|
| TJBU
| 17:11
| After that ye were sanctified to be a people, there ye made your works despicable; and also when ye came to the land, the place of my Shekinah, there it was your duty to worship me; ye forsook my worship, and ye served idols: ye abhorred repentance till the day of your destruc tion came, then your sorrow was a breathing out of soul.

And the rushing of nations, that rush
Like the rushing of mighty waters!

And like the whirling dust before the storm.

And before the morning they are not.
This is the portion of them that spoil us,
And the lot of them that rob us.
