Israel’s Taunt against Babylon

14 When the Lord (A)has compassion on Jacob and again (B)chooses Israel, and settles them on their own land, then (C)strangers will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob. The peoples will take them along and bring them to their place, and the (D)house of Israel will make them their own possession in the land of the Lord (E)as male and female servants; and [a]they will take their captors captive and will rule over their oppressors.

The Restoration of Israel

11 “On that day I will (A)raise up the fallen [a](B)shelter of David,
And wall up its (C)gaps;
I will also raise up its ruins
And rebuild it as in the (D)days of old;
12 (E)So that they may [b]possess the remnant of (F)Edom
And all the [c]nations who are (G)called by My name,”
Declares the Lord who does this.

13 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“When the (H)plowman will overtake the reaper,
And the one who treads grapes will overtake him who sows the seed;
When the (I)mountains will drip grape juice,
And all the hills will come apart.
14 I will also (J)restore the fortunes of My people Israel,
And they will (K)rebuild the desolated cities and live in them;
They will also (L)plant vineyards and drink their wine,
And make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will also plant them on their land,
And (M)they will not be uprooted again from their land
Which I have given them,”
Says the Lord your God.
