Exegesis
The successive imperfect yē-rā-ʿe-ẖ {יֵרָזֶה | yē-rā-ʿe-ẖ} ‘will waste away’ underscores decline. Hebrew parallelism contrasts external honor with internal vitality, and the English rendering preserves this semantic tension.
In context — Isaiah 17:4
And it will come to pass in that day that the glory of Jacob will become thin, and from the fatness of his flesh it will waste away.
