New International Version

Israel’s Restoration

¹¹“In that day

“I will restore David’s^(A) fallen shelter^(B)—
    I will repair its broken walls
    and restore its ruins^(C)—
    and will rebuild it as it used to be,^(D)
¹²so that they may possess the remnant of Edom^(E)
    and all the nations that bear my name,^[a]^(F)”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.^(G)

¹³“The days are coming,”^(H) declares the Lord,

“when the reaper^(I) will be overtaken by the plowman^(J)
    and the planter by the one treading^(K) grapes.
New wine^(L) will drip from the mountains
    and flow from all the hills,^(M)
¹⁴    and I will bring^(N) my people Israel back from exile.^[b]^(O)

“They will rebuild the ruined cities^(P) and live in them.
    They will plant vineyards^(Q) and drink their wine;
    they will make gardens and eat their fruit.^(R)
¹⁵I will plant^(S) Israel in their own land,^(T)
    never again to be uprooted^(U)
    from the land I have given them,”^(V)

says the Lord your God.^(W)
