13 You will have such a harvest
    that you won't be able
to bring in all of your wheat
    before plowing time.
You will have grapes left over
    from season to season;
your fruitful vineyards
    will cover the mountains.

14 I'll make Israel prosper again.
You will rebuild your towns
    and live in them.
You will drink wine
from your own vineyards
    and eat the fruit you grow.
15 I'll plant your roots deep
in the land I have given you,
    and you won't ever
    be uprooted again.
I, the Lord God, have spoken!

    and the planter by the one treading(D) grapes.
New wine(E) will drip from the mountains
    and flow from all the hills,(F)
14     and I will bring(G) my people Israel back from exile.[a](H)

“They will rebuild the ruined cities(I) and live in them.
    They will plant vineyards(J) and drink their wine;
    they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(K)
15 I will plant(L) Israel in their own land,(M)
    never again to be uprooted(N)
    from the land I have given them,”(O)

says the Lord your God.(P)
