Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) the days will come … when the plowman

A future time is spoken of as if “days will come.” Alternate translation: “there will be a time … when the plowman” or “in the future … the plowman”

(Occurrence 0) when the plowman … him who plants seed

These are two images of Yahweh restoring prosperity in Israel. This means grain will grow faster than the people can harvest it, and there will be so many grapes, those crushing the grapes will still be working when farmers start planting more vineyards.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) The mountains will drip sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it

These two lines mean basically the same thing.
