9:12 As a result they ¹  will conquer those left in Edom ² 

and all the nations subject to my rule.” ³ 

The Lord, who is about to do this, is speaking!

9:13 “Be sure of this, ⁴  the time is ⁵  coming,” says the Lord,

“when the plowman will catch up to the reaper ⁶ 

and the one who stomps the grapes ⁷  will overtake ⁸  the planter. ⁹ 

Juice will run down the slopes, ¹⁰ 

it will flow down all the hillsides. ¹¹ 

9:14 I will bring back my people, Israel; ¹² 

they will rebuild the cities lying in rubble ¹³  and settle down. ¹⁴ 

They will plant vineyards and drink the wine they produce; ¹⁵ 

they will grow orchards ¹⁶  and eat the fruit they produce. ¹⁷ 

9:15 I will plant them on their land

and they will never again be uprooted from the ¹⁸  land I have given them,”

says the Lord your God.
