13. the days come--at the future restoration of the Jews to their own
land.
ploughman shall overtake . . . reaper . . .
treader of grapes him that soweth--fulfilling
Le 26:5.
Such shall be the abundance that the harvest and vintage can hardly be
gathered before the time for preparing for the next crop shall come.
Instead of the greater part of the year being spent in war, the whole
shall be spent in sowing and reaping the fruits of earth. Compare
Isa 65:21-23,
as to the same period.
soweth seed--literally, "draweth it forth," namely, from the sack in
order to sow it.
mountains . . . drop sweet wine--an appropriate image, as the vines in
Palestine were trained on terraces at the sides of the hills.
