Context of Isaiah 27:6

4I am not angry now. If there were thorn bushes or weeds in my vineyard, I would attack them. I would burn them all. 5But my enemies should turn to me for help. They should agree to live in peace with me. Yes, that is what they should do. The time will come when Jacob will grow well, like a strong plant in the ground. Yes, Israel will make flowers and branches. Their fruit will fill all the world. 7The Lord did not punish Israel's people as much as he punished their enemies. He did not kill them as much as he killed their enemies. 8But Lord you sent your people to a land far away. That is how you punished them. You blew them away with a storm that came from the east.

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
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root - This language is derived from the vine, as the shoots or cuttings of the vine take root and flourish.

• 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.
