6And gleanings have been left in him, || As the surrounding of an olive, || Two—three berries on the top of a branch, || Four—five on the fruitful boughs, || A declaration of YHWH, God of Israel!

8And he does not look to the altars. The work of his own hands, || And that which his own fingers made, He does not see—the Asherim and the images.
