And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

The verse 5 is found in chapter 17 of Isaiah. Damascus and Ephraim appear united in a judgment that reduces cities and strongholds. Yet a remnant remains that turns its gaze toward the Holy One of Israel and abandons the altars made by its own hands. The contrast shows that judgment can produce a spiritual reorientation toward the true God.

Denn sie wird sein, als wenn einer Getreide einsammelte in der Ernte, und als wenn einer mit seinem Arm die Ähren einerntete, und als wenn einer Ähren läse im Tal Rephaim
Y será como cuando el segador coge la mies, y con su brazo siega las espigas: será también como el que coge espigas en el valle de Rephaim.
Il en sera comme quand le moissonneur récolte les blés, Et que son bras coupe les épis; Comme quand on ramasse les épis, Dans la vallée de Rephaïm.
Ed avverrà loro, come quando il mietitore raccoglie le biade, e col suo braccio miete le spighe; avverrà, dico, come quando si raccolgono le spighe ad una ad una nella valle de’ Rafei
Porque será como o segador que colhe a cana do trigo e com o seu braço sega as espigas; e será também como o que colhe espigas no vale de Refaim.
像人收割成熟的禾稼, 用手臂割取麥穗, 又像人在 利乏音谷 拾取穗子;
