The Restoration of Israel

the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
and raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12 ^axthat they may possess the remnant of Edom
and ^ayall the nations who are called by my name,” ^{▼▼Hebrew; Septuagint (compare Acts 15:17) that the remnant of mankind and all the nations who are called by my name may seek the Lord}
declares the Lord who does this.
13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
^ba“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
^bbthe mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and all the hills shall flow with it.
14 ^bcI will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
and ^bdthey shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
^bethey shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 ^bfI will plant them on their land,
^bgand they shall never again be uprooted
out of the land ^bhthat I have given them,”

says the Lord your God.
