Yahweh promised to restore Israel

11 “The kingdom over which King David ruled has been destroyed, like [MET] a house that collapsed and then became ruins.

But some day I will cause it to be a kingdom again.

I will cause it to prosper again

just like it did previously.

12 When that happens, your armies will seize/capture the remaining part of Edom region again,

and they will also seize the land in other nations that previously belonged to me [MTY].

I, Yahweh, have said that I will do these things,

and I will certainly cause them to happen.

13 There will be a time when your crops will grow very well.

Very soon after the crops are harvested,

farmers will plow the ground to plant more crops in it again,

and soon after the vineyards are planted,

farmers will harvest grapes and tread on them to make wine.

And because there will be a lot of wine,

it will seem as though wine is flowing down from the hills [DOU].

14 I will cause you, my Israeli people, to prosper again.

You will rebuild your towns and live in them.

You will plant vineyards and then drink the wine made from the grapes that grows in them.

15 I will enable you to live [MET] in your land again,

the land that I gave to your ancestors,

and never again will you be forced to leave it.

That is what will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it.”
