12that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations upon whom my name is called, saith Jehovah who doeth this. 13Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop new wine, and all the hills shall melt.

Commentaries on Amos 9:14
