The Restoration of David’s Fallen Shelter

11 In that day I will raise up the fallen shelter of David.

I will repair the broken parts of its walls,

and I will raise up its ruins.

I will rebuild it as in days of old,

12 so that they will possess what remains of Edom,

that is, all the nations who are called by my name,

declares the Lord, who is doing this.

13 Look, days are coming, declares the Lord,

when the plowman will catch up with the reaper,

and the one who tramples grapes will catch up with the one sowing the seed.

The mountains will drip sweet wine,[a]

and all the hills will wave with grain.[b]
