Isaiah 17:6

King James Version

Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel. Book of Isaiah 17:6

New International Version

Yet some gleanings will remain, as when an olive tree is beaten, leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches, four or five on the fruitful boughs,” declares the Lord, the God of Israel. Book of Isaiah 17:6 NIV

Isaiah 17:6 uses the imagery of a beaten olive tree to convey that, despite the impending judgment and destruction of Damascus (Syria), a small remnant will survive, symbolized by the few olives left on the tree after harvest. This “gleaning” signifies that God’s judgment, though severe, will not result in complete annihilation, as a small group will endure. The verse reflects the broader theme in Isaiah that, even in times of judgment, God preserves a faithful remnant, offering hope alongside the promise of restoration.
