13 “Look! The days are coming,”
    declares the Lord,
“when the one who sows will overtake the harvester
    and the treader of grapes will overtake[a] the planter.
Fresh wine will drip down from the mountains,
    cascading down from the hills.
14 I will surely restore my people Israel;
    they will rebuild the ruined cities
        and inhabit them.[b]
They will plant vineyards
    and drink the wine from them.
They will plant gardens
    and eat the fruit from them.
15 I will plant the people of Israel[c] in their own land,
    never again to be torn out of their land
        that I gave them,”
    says the Lord your God.
