You will plant vineyards again
    on the hills around Samaria [C in northern Israel].
The ·farmers [L planters] will plant them
    and enjoy their fruit.
There will be a time when ·watchmen [sentinels; guards] in the mountains of Ephraim [C northern Israel] ·shout this message [L proclaim]:
    ‘·Come [L Get up], let’s go up to ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple] to the Lord our God [C to worship]!’”

This is what the Lord says:

“·Be happy and sing [L Sing with joy] for the people of Jacob.
    Shout for Israel, the ·greatest [head; foremost] of the nations.
·Sing your praises and shout this [L Make yourself heard, praise, and say]:
    Lord, ·save [rescue] your people,
    ·those who are left alive from the nation [L the remnant] of Israel!’
