Amos 9:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 Hear this! The days are coming—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
when the plowman will overtake the reaper(A)
and the one who treads grapes,
the sower of seed.
The mountains will drip with sweet wine,
and all the hills will flow with it.(B)
14 I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel.[a](C)
They will rebuild and occupy ruined cities,(D)
plant vineyards and drink their wine,
make gardens and eat their produce.(E)
15 I will plant them on their land,
and they will never again be uprooted
from the land I have given them.(F)
Yahweh your God has spoken.

Amos 9:13-15
Common English Bible
13 The days are surely coming, says the Lord,
when the one who plows
will overtake the one who gathers,
when the one who crushes grapes
will overtake the one who sows the seed.
The mountains will drip wine,
and all the hills will flow with it.
14 I will improve the circumstances of my people Israel;
they will rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them.
They will plant vineyards and drink their wine;
and they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant them upon their land,
and they will never again be plucked up
out of the land that I have given them,
says the Lord your God.
