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.

  1. 9:14 Or restore my people Israel from captivity

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.
