Context of Amos 9:14

12That they may possess the remnant of Edom And all the nations who are called by My name,” Declares the Lord who does this. 13“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “When the plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the mountains will drip sweet wine And all the hills will be dissolved. Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit. 15I will also plant them on their land, And they will not again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.

Commentaries on Amos 9:14

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14And I will bring again the captivity of My people - Where all around is spiritual, there is no reason to take this alone as earthly.
