If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night, even they would pillage only what they wanted.
Gleanings will be left in it, as when an olive tree is beaten— two or three berries in the top of the highest bough, four or five on the branches of a fruit tree, says the Lord God of Israel.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: Glean thoroughly as a vine the remnant of Israel; like a grape gatherer, pass your hand again over its branches.
“When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.
