The Restoration of Israel

Amos 9

11 "On t that day I will raise up
The 1 tabernacle 2 of David, which has fallen down,
And 3 repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 That they may possess the remnant of v Edom, 4
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,"
Says the LORD who does this thing.

13 "Behold, w the days are coming," says the LORD,
"When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
x The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
14 y I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;
z They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;
They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.
15 I will plant them in their land,
a And no longer shall they be pulled up
From the land I have given them,"
Says the LORD your God.
