Context of Amos 9:15
13The days are going to come, declares the Lord, when the one who plows will catch up to the one who harvests, and the one who stomps on grapes will catch up to the one who plants. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills. 14I will restore my people Israel. They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink the wine from them. They will plant gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant the people of Israel in their land, and they won’t be uprooted again from the land that I gave them, says the Lord your God.
