Renewed from the Inside Out
Commentators explain that the imagery of a rejoicing "heart" and flourishing "bones" represents a complete restoration. The heart signifies inner joy, while the bones, often depicted as dry during affliction, symbolize renewed physical and spiritual strength. This promise is like withered grass becoming lush and green again, assuring believers of God's power to bring life and vigor after periods of sadness or hardship.
