The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
That the glory of Jacob will1 wane,
And athe fatness of his flesh grow lean.
And reaps the heads with his arm;
It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
In the Valley of Rephaim.
Like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
Says the Lord God of Israel.
And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 17:5
Gathereth - Taking care, as far as may be, that all may be gathered in, and nothing left. So shall the whole body of the ten tribes be carried away captive, some few gleanings only being left. Rephaim - A very fruitful place near Jerusalem.
