Amos 9:13-15
New American Standard Bible
13 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“When the (A)plowman will overtake the reaper,
And the one who treads grapes will overtake him who sows the seed;
When the (B)mountains will drip grape juice,
And all the hills will come apart.
14 I will also (C)restore the fortunes of My people Israel,
And they will (D)rebuild the desolated cities and live in them;
They will also (E)plant vineyards and drink their wine,
And make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will also plant them on their land,
And (F)they will not be uprooted again from their land
Which I have given them,”
Says the Lord your God.
Amos 9:13-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 The time is surely coming, says the Lord,
when the one who plows shall catch up with the one who reaps
and the treader of grapes with the one who sows the seed;
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and all the hills shall flow with it.(A)
14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.(B)
15 I will plant them upon their land,
and they shall never again be plucked up
out of the land that I have given them,
says the Lord your God.(C)
Amos 9:13-14
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
13 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall drop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled.
14 And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them: and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them: and shall make gardens, and eat the fruits of them. And I will plant them upon their own land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.

The Message
13-15 “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree.
“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:
“They’ll rebuild their ruined cities.
They’ll plant vineyards and drink good wine.
They’ll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.
And I’ll plant them, plant them on their own land.
They’ll never again be uprooted from the land I’ve given them.”
God, your God, says so.
