Amos
Amos 9:11–15
11“In that day I will restore
the fallen tent of David.
I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins,
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12that they may possess the remnant of Edom
and all the nations that bear My name,”d
declares the LORD, who will do this.
13“Behold, the days are coming,”
declares the LORD,
“when the plowman will overtake the reaper
and the treader of grapes, the sower of seed.
The mountains will drip with sweet wine,
with which all the hills will flow.
14I will restore My people Israel from captivity;e
they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities.
They will plant vineyards and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15I will firmly plant them in their own land,
never again to be uprooted
from the land that I have given them,”
says the LORD your God.
