And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

They shall build the waste cities - (Isaiah 61:4, "They shall build the old wastes, and they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations;" Ezekiel 36:33-36, "They shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. Then the pagan that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it").
