13 “Behold, days are coming,” declares Yahweh,
“When the (A)plowman will overtake the reaper
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
When the (B)mountains will drip [a]sweet (C)wine
And all the hills will melt.
14 Also I will (D)restore the [b]captivity of My people Israel,
And they will (E)rebuild the desolated cities and live in them;
They will also (F)plant vineyards and drink their wine
And make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will also plant them on their land,
And (G)they will not again be uprooted from their land
Which I have given them,”
Says Yahweh your God.

13 “Look! The days are coming,”
    declares the Lord,
“when the one who sows will overtake the harvester
    and the treader of grapes will overtake[a] the planter.
Fresh wine will drip down from the mountains,
    cascading down from the hills.
14 I will surely restore my people Israel;
    they will rebuild the ruined cities
        and inhabit them.[b]
They will plant vineyards
    and drink the wine from them.
They will plant gardens
    and eat the fruit from them.
15 I will plant the people of Israel[c] in their own land,
    never again to be torn out of their land
        that I gave them,”
    says the Lord your God.
