Israel, my bride, I will rebuild you.
    You will be a country again.
You will pick up your tambourines again.
    You will dance with all the other people who are having fun.
You farmers of Israel will plant vineyards again.
    You will plant the vineyards on the hills around the city of Samaria.
    The farmers will enjoy the fruit from the vineyards.
There will be a time when watchmen[a] shout this message:
    ‘Come, let’s go up to Zion to worship the Lord our God!’
Even the watchmen in the hill country of Ephraim[b] will shout that message.”
