Context of Isaiah 27:6

4I am no longer angry. If only thorns and briars would confront me! I would fight them in battle and set all of them on fire. 5Or else let them come to me for protection. Let them make peace with me. Yes, let them make peace with me. In times to come Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom, bud, and fill the whole world with fruit. 7Will the Lord hurt Israel as he hurt others who hurt them? Will he kill them as he killed others? 8He punished Israel by sending it away. He removed it with a fierce blast from the east winds.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6To take root "From the root" - For ישרש yashresh, I read, with the Syriac, משרש mishshoresh .
