A Promise of Future Growth

Commentators explain that this verse uses the powerful imagery of a plant. Just as a vine or tree takes root, blossoms, and then bears fruit, God promises that His people will be firmly re-established after judgment. This imagery signifies stability, flourishing growth, and eventual productivity.
