Amos 9:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 That they may possess the remnant of [a]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 [b]touch the mower, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed: and the mountains shall [c]drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14 [d]And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel: and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof: they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
