From Abandonment to Tender Care
Commentators like Charles Ellicott and John Calvin highlight that this verse is a direct reversal of the judgment in Isaiah 5. There, God abandoned His vineyard to ruin. Here, He promises to become its personal, active keeper. This demonstrates God's profound grace and His power to restore what was once judged.
