13 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh,
    “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
    and the one treading grapes him who sows seed;
    and sweet wine will drip from the mountains,
    and flow from the hills.
14 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity,
    and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them;
    and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them.
They shall also make gardens,
    and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant them on their land,
    and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,”
    says Yahweh your God.

13 Look, 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)
The Lord your God has spoken.
