Context of Isaiah 27:6

4Fury is not in me. Oh that I had briars [and] thorns in battle against me! I would march against them, I would burn them together. 5Or let him take hold of my strength; let him make peace with me: [yea,] let him make peace with me. In the future Jacob shall take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit. 7Hath he smitten him according to the smiting of those that smote him? Is he slain according to the slaughter of those slain by him? 8In measure, when sending her away, didst thou contend with her: he hath taken [her] away with his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

Commentaries on Isaiah 27:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6To take root "From the root" - For ישרש yashresh, I read, with the Syriac, משרש mishshoresh . And for ופרח יציץ yatsits uparach, פרח יציצו yatsitsu parach, joining the ו vau to the first word, and taking that into construction with the first part of the sentence, Israel shall bud forth. I suppose the dialogue to be continued in this verse, which pursues the same image of the allegory, but in the way of metaphor.Read the comment

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-13Verses 6-13 In the days of the gospel, the latter days, the gospel church shall be more firmly fixed than the Jewish church, and shall spread further.
