Bible readers and scholars help me understand Amos 9:13

KJV:

"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt."

ESV:

"“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it."

God is promising so much abundance that the harvesters and the planters will be in each other's way because the crops just keep producing and producing that they're still reaping when the planters come in to plant again. It's a prophecy of unimaginable abundance, constant fullness, and unmitigated joy.
