12 Then the people left alive in Edom,
    and all the people called by my name, will look to me for help.”
This is what the Lord said,
    and he will make it happen.
13 The Lord says, “A time of great blessing is coming.
Workers will still be harvesting
    when it is time to plow the fields again.
They will still be trampling the grapes
    when it is time for a new crop.
Sweet wine will drip from the mountains
    and pour from the hills.
14 I will bring my people, Israel,
    back from captivity.
They will rebuild the ruined cities,
    and they will live in them.
They will plant vineyards
    and drink the wine they produce.
They will plant gardens
    and eat the crops they produce.
