Israel to be Restored

11 “At that time I will restore David’s fallen tent,
    restoring its torn places.
I will restore its ruins,
    rebuilding it as it was long ago,
12 so my people[a] may inherit the remnant of Edom
    and all of the nations that bear my name,”
        declares the Lord who is bringing this about.

13 “Look! The days are coming,”
    declares the Lord,
“when the one who sows will overtake the harvester
    and the treader of grapes will overtake[b] the planter.
Fresh wine will drip down from the mountains,
    cascading down from the hills.
