Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
So they will come and sing joyfully on the heights of Zion, and they will stream together to receive the Lord's goodness - wheat, wine, oil, and young livestock. Their souls will be like a well-watered garden, and they will never grieve again.
God is promising His people a future filled with abundance, joy, and an end to all their sorrows.
