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 Living Translation
13 “The time will come,” says the Lord,
“when the grain and grapes will grow faster
than they can be harvested.
Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel
will drip with sweet wine!
14 I will bring my exiled people of Israel
back from distant lands,
and they will rebuild their ruined cities
and live in them again.
They will plant vineyards and gardens;
they will eat their crops and drink their wine.
15 I will firmly plant them there
in their own land.
They will never again be uprooted
from the land I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.
Amos 9:13-15
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.
