Context of Isaiah 27:6

4I am not angry. If only there were briers and thorns confronting me! I would march against them in battle; I would set them all on fire. 5Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me.” In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit. 7Has the Lord struck her as he struck down those who struck her? Has she been killed as those were killed who killed her? 8By warfare and exile you contend with her— with his fierce blast he drives her out, as on a day the east wind blows.

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.
