Amos 9:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 In that day will I raise up the [a]Tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and close up the breaches thereof, and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it, as in the days of old,
12 That they may possess the remnant of [b]Edom, and of all the heathen, because my Name is called upon them, saith the Lord, that doeth this.
13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall [c]touch the mower, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall [d]drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
