Israel Will Be Restored

11 “On(A) that day I will raise up
The [a]tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And [b]repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 (B)That they may possess the remnant of (C)Edom,[c]
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
Says the Lord who does this thing.

13 “Behold, (D)the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
(E)The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
