and I will turn unto you; the Lord had turned from them, and left them a prey to the enemy, whereby they were become desolate; but now he would turn unto them, and bless them, and make them fruitful, and return the right owners of them to them, who should greatly improve them:
and ye shall be tilled and sown; manured and cultivated, and sown with wheat and barley, as in former times.
