13 “The days are coming,” says the Lord,
    “when grain will grow faster than it can be harvested,
    and grapes will grow faster than the wine can be made.
The mountains will drip with sweet wine,
    and the hills will flow with it.
14 I will bring my people back to their land.
    They will rebuild their ruined cities and live there;
    they will plant vineyards and drink the wine;
    they will plant gardens and eat what they grow.
15 I will plant my people on the land I gave them,
    and they will not be pulled up again.”
The Lord your God has spoken.

    never again to be uprooted(N)
