The Restoration of David’s Kingdom

11 On that day I will raise up
    the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its[a] breaches
    and raise up its[b] ruins
    and rebuild it as in the days of old,(A)
12 in order that they may possess the remnant of Edom
    and all the nations who are called by my name,
    says the Lord who does this.(B)

13 The time is surely coming, says the Lord,
    when the one who plows shall catch up with the one who reaps
    and the treader of grapes with the one who sows the seed;
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
    and all the hills shall flow with it.(C)
