Jeremiah 31:12

31:12 They will come and shout for joy on Mount Zion.

They will be radiant with joy ¹  over the good things the Lord provides,

the grain, the fresh wine, the olive oil,

the young sheep and calves he has given to them.

They will be like a well-watered garden

and will not grow faint or weary any more.

Ezekiel 28:25

Amos 9:14-15

9:14 I will bring back my people, Israel; ³ 

they will rebuild the cities lying in rubble ⁴  and settle down. ⁵ 

They will plant vineyards and drink the wine they produce; ⁶ 

they will grow orchards ⁷  and eat the fruit they produce. ⁸ 

9:15 I will plant them on their land

and they will never again be uprooted from the ⁹  land I have given them,”

says the Lord your God.

Obadiah 1:17

and it will be a holy place once again.

The descendants ¹¹  of Jacob will conquer ¹² 

those who had conquered them. ¹³ 

[31:12]  ¹ tn Reading a Qal perfect from the root II נָהַר (nahar; so KBL 509 s.v. and HALOT 639 s.v.) rather than I נָהַר (so BDB 625 s.v.).

[28:25]  ² tn Or “reveal my holiness.” See verse 22.

[9:14]  ³ tn This line can also be translated “I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel” and is a common idiom (e.g., Deut 30:3; Jer 30:3; Hos 6:11; Zeph 3:20). This rendering is followed by several modern English versions (e.g., NEB, NRSV, NJPS).

[9:14]  ⁴ tn Or “the ruined [or “desolate”] cities.”

[9:14]  ⁵ tn Or “and live [in them].”

[9:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “drink their wine.”

[9:14]  ⁷ tn Or “gardens.”

[9:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “eat their fruit.”

[9:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “their.” The pronoun was replaced by the English definite article in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[1:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “will be a fugitive.” This is a collective singular. Cf. NCV “some will escape the judgment.”

[1:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “house” (so most English versions); NCV, TEV “the people of Jacob.” The word “house” also occurs four times in v. 18.

[1:17]  ¹² tn Heb “dispossess.” This root is repeated in the following line to emphasize poetic justice: The punishment will fit the crime.

[1:17]  ¹³ tc The present translation follows the reading מוֹרִשֵׁיהֶם (morishehem; literally, “those dispossessing them”; cf. NAB, NRSV, CEV) rather than מוֹרָשֵׁיהֶם (morashehem, “their possessions”) of the MT (cf. LXX, Syriac, and Vg, followed by KJV, ASV, NASB).
