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.
