The Book of the Prophet Amos    9: 11-15

9:11 In that day, I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which is fallen. And I will repair the breaches in its walls, and I will restore that which collapsed. And I will rebuild it, just as in the days of antiquity,
9:12 so that they may possess the remnant of Idumea and all the nations, for my name has been invoked over them, says the Lord who does this.
9:13 Behold, the days pass, says the Lord, and the plower will overtake the harvester, and the treader of grapes will overtake the sower of seed. And the mountains will drip sweetness, and every hill will be cultivated.
9:14 And I will turn back the captivity of my people Israel. And they will rebuild the deserted cities and inhabit them. And they will plant vineyards and drink their wine. And they will create gardens and eat their fruits.
9:15 And I will plant them on their own soil. And I will no longer root them out of their own land, which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
