12     Then they may possess what remains of Edom,
        including every person among the outsiders who have been called by My name.[a]

13 So says the Eternal One who will make this happen.

Eternal One: The day is coming
        when one following will overtake one ahead—
    When the person plowing the field will overtake
        the person still reaping the grain from the last season;
    When the person stomping grapes will overtake
        the person planting the vineyard.
    And in that fertile day, new wine will drip from the mountains,
        and the hills will flow with it.
14     I will restore the captives of My people, Israel.
        They will rebuild their ruined cities and return to them.
    They will plant new vineyards and drink wine from them,
        and they will plant new gardens and eat the food they grow.
