they will rebuild the cities lying in rubble ^{▼▼tn Or “the ruined [or “desolate”] cities.”} and settle down. ^{▼▼tn Or “and live [in them].”}
They will plant vineyards and drink the wine they produce; ^{▼▼tn Heb “drink their wine.”}
they will grow orchards ^{▼▼tn Or “gardens.”} and eat the fruit they produce. ^{▼▼tn Heb “eat their fruit.”}
