Isaiah 17:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ There will be only a few people that remain in Israel. They will be like a few olives that remain on a tree after the harvest. Perhaps two or three olives are still there on the highest branches. Four or five olives may remain on the other branches.’

That is what the Lord God of Israel says.

⁷ At that time, people will turn back to their Maker. They will trust the Holy God of Israel to help them.

⁸ They will no longer trust their idols to help them. They made altars for themselves, where they worshipped their gods. They worshipped Asherah at special poles. They made altars where they burned incense. But they will not do those things any more.
