Exegesis
The prophetic formula neum YHWH Elohei Yisra’el {נְאֻם־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | nə-ʾum Yə-hō-wāh ʾĕ-lō-hē Yiś-rā-ʾēl} closes with divine authority. English syntax preserves Hebrew enumeration and parallel locational phrases to maintain the sense of judgmental scarcity and divine pronouncement.
In context — Isaiah 17:6
And there will remain in it gleanings like the shaking of an olive tree—two or three berries at the top of the highest bough, four or five on its fruitful branches—declares the LORD God of Israel .
