13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall [a]touch the mower, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall [b]drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 [c]And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel: and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof: they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.

15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up again out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
