Yahweh Will Rebuild Israel

11 “In that day I will (A)raise up the fallen [a](B)booth of David
And wall up its (C)breaches;
I will also raise up its ruins
And rebuild it as in the (D)ancient days,
12 (E)That they may possess the remnant of (F)Edom
And all the [b]nations who are (G)called by My name,”
Declares Yahweh who does this.

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

Israel’s Restoration

11 “In that day

“I will restore David’s(A) fallen shelter(B)
    I will repair its broken walls
    and restore its ruins(C)
    and will rebuild it as it used to be,(D)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(E)
    and all the nations that bear my name,[a](F)
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(G)

13 “The days are coming,”(H) declares the Lord,

“when the reaper(I) will be overtaken by the plowman(J)
    and the planter by the one treading(K) grapes.
New wine(L) will drip from the mountains
    and flow from all the hills,(M)
14     and I will bring(N) my people Israel back from exile.[b](O)

“They will rebuild the ruined cities(P) and live in them.
    They will plant vineyards(Q) and drink their wine;
    they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(R)
15 I will plant(S) Israel in their own land,(T)
    never again to be uprooted(U)
    from the land I have given them,”(V)

says the Lord your God.(W)
